During the Vision 2024 event, Intel announced that its upcoming Xeon processors will be branded under the new “Xeon 6” moniker. This rebranding effort aims to simplify the company’s product stack and align with the recent changes made to its consumer CPU naming scheme.
In contrast to the previous “x Generation Xeon Scalable”, the new branding aims to simplify the product family. The highly anticipated Sierra Forest and Granite Ridge chips will be the first processors to bear the Xeon 6 branding, and they are set to launch in the coming months.
Intel has confirmed that Sierra Forest, designed entirely with efficiency cores (E-cores), remains on track for release this quarter. Supermicro has already announced early availability and remote testing programs for these chips.
The Xeon 6 branding aims to simplify the product stack and clarify customer performance tiers as the company gears up for these major releases.
