Intel plans to launch its next -generation Zeon platform, Code, in 2026, which will include Diamond Rapids, a CPU made for servers and high performance workloads.
The Diamond Rapids will use Intel’s 18A process and Panther Kov Corps, the same architecture that comes under future consumer chips.
The top model includes four computing tiles, each with 48 performance core, including a total of 192 cores per socket.

With the support of single, dual, and quad socket configuration, this means that the same rack can host 768 core. Such density also brings especially challenges with power. Fully -made racks can draw 2000W.
Intel says Diamond Rapids will use a new socket type, LGA 9324. It also supports modern standards such as the PCI 6.0 and CXL 3, which helps to connect the processor with accelerators and fast storage.
Each CPU can support 16 channels of DDR5 memory and MRDIMM module running on 12800MT/s.
There will also be a version with half the memory bandout and a basic counting low computing tiles and a single I/O Module. This option can be in accordance with the deployment of more power or space consciousness.
Intel is also pitching it as a CPU as is ready for workload. Although most AI processing is still on the GPU, the purpose of the Diamond Rapids is to improve the CPU -based interference, especially for small models.
Forms like FP8 and TF32 should help this place with ancestors.
CPU will also support Intel APX and upgraded AMX engine, two instruction sets mean to improve the performance of modern server works. These upgrades indicate in a future where the CPU can directly carry more AI workload.
The Diamond Rapids is expected to launch along the Jaguar coast of Intel, which is part of its Push to create a complete AI-desady server platform.
Intel has not yet announced pricing, and how it remains to be seen how AMD stands against rivals.
