Sapphire Rapids is a codename for Intel's fourth generation Xeon server processors based on Intel 7, which is a rebranded 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin process.[2][3][4] Sapphire Rapids CPUs are designed for data centers; the roughly contemporary Alder Lake is intended for the wider public.[5]
Sapphire Rapids will be used as part of the Eagle Stream server platform in 2022.[6][7] In addition, it will be powering Aurora, an exascale supercomputer in the United States, at Argonne National Laboratory.[8]
