Scalable processors, developed as the successor to
Cascade Lake-SP. Cooper Lake processors are targeted at the 4S and 8S segments of the server market;
Ice Lake-SP serves the 1S and 2S segment.
Features
Cooper Lake was launched on June 18, 2020 and features up to 28 cores. Aside from a few microarchitectural changes, Cooper Lake's microarchitecture is mostly identical to Skylake. Cooper Lake features faster memory support (DDR4-3200 over DDR4-2933), support for second-generation
Optane memory, and double the UPI links over
Cascade Lake.
Cooper Lake is the first x86 CPU to support the new
bfloat16 instruction set as a part of Intel's
Deep Learning Boost (DPL).
