according to fast technology on september 15, in recent years, intel xeon has been suppressed by amd epyc in terms of hardware specifications, but the latest generation of xeon 6 series finally has the hope of catching up or even surpassing it. for example, the new "xeon 6 r1s" series is not inferior to its competitors in terms of core count or scalability.

the xeon 6 r1s is part of the xeon 6700 series code-named granite rapids. it is a pure large-core design aimed at users who need strong scalability but do not need too many cores.

it should have a maximum of 86 cores on a physical level, but will actually offer around 80 - the higher-end xeon 6900 series has a maximum of 128 cores.

even so, it still has more than a dozen more cores than the amd epyc 8004 series, which has a maximum of 64 cores. of course, please note that both are single-channel products.

more importantly, the xeon 6 r1s can provide up to 136 pcie 5.0 channels, which not only surpasses the 96 channels of the epyc 8004 series, but even exceeds the 128 channels of the epyc 9004 series.

so many pcie 5.0 high-speed channels allow users to add various expansion cards, acceleration cards or storage.

however, time is very tight for intel. the xeon 6700/6900 series will be launched in the second half of this year and early next year, and amd's fifth-generation epyc based on zen5 architecture will also be released in october.
