Intel’s Diamond Rapids server-processor generation may include a 256-core model, exceeding the 192-core configuration implied by Intel’s public roadmap presentation. Intel previously described its 2027 Xeon generation as providing approximately 50% more cores than Granite Rapids, whose largest generally available configuration contains 128 cores. A direct 50% increase produces 192 cores, leading to the expectation that this would be the range’s maximum. More conventional Diamond Rapids products containing up to 192 cores are said to use a 500W platform. Treat 192 cores as the defensible public-roadmap inference and 256 cores as a provisional possibility until Intel publishes specifications.
