Cooper Lake (microprocessor)

Cooper Lake is Intel's codename for the third-generation of their Xeon 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 <code>bfloat16</code> instruction set as a part of Intel's Deep Learning Boost (DPL).

Improvements

• New <code>bfloat16</code> instruction
• Support for up to 12 DIMMs of DDR4 memory per CPU socket
• Xeon Platinum supports up to eight sockets; Xeon Gold supports up to four sockets; Xeon Silver and Bronze support up to two sockets
• -H: up to 1.12TB DDR4 per socket
• -HL: Large DDR memory tier support (up to 4.5TB)
