Intel unveiled Cascade Lake, the successor to their current Skylake Xeons, on their roadmap some time ago, but actual specifications for the platform were unknown. Yesterday, they formally announced Cascade Lake, and went into a little more detail. Intel says the new processors "incorporates a performance optimized multi-chip package", and feature 12 channels of DDR4 and up to 48 cores in a single socket. Intel also made some performance comparisons between a dual-socket Cascade Lake System and a 2P AMD EPYC 7601 server, but as you probably know, in-house benchmarks from any company need to be taken with a grain of salt. More details on Cascade Lake are supposed to come at the Supercomputing 2018 conference, and Intel claims they will be available sometime in 2019. Meanwhile, Intel also launched the Coffee Lake-based Xeon E-2100 lineup, which is available today.
Intel SGX on the Intel Xeon E-2100 processor family delivers hardware-based security and manageability features to further secure customer data and applications. This feature is currently unique to the Intel Xeon E processor family and allows new entry-level servers featuring an Intel Xeon E-2100 processor to provide an additional layer of hardware-enhanced security measures when used with properly enabled cloud applications. The Xeon E-2100 processor is targeted at small- and medium-size businesses and cloud service providers.
