Intel Xeon 6
Intel's host-CPU line — the x86 incumbent defending the AI head-node.
You're looking at a chip record: what this processor is, its key specs, who designs, manufactures and supplies its parts, and where it gets used.
Xeon 6 splits into efficiency (Sierra Forest, up to 288 E-cores) and performance (Granite Rapids, P-cores with MRDIMM support) lines. Xeon still holds a large share of GPU head-node sockets — NVIDIA's DGX B200 ships with Xeon hosts — even as EPYC and Arm alternatives advance.
