> Key question will be how quickly Intel will shift to the next architecture, Sapphire Rapids. Will this release be like the consumer/desktop Rocket Lake? E.g. just a placeholder to essentially volume test the 10nm fabrication for datacenter. Probably at least a year out at this point since Ice Lake SP was supposed to be originally released in 2H2020. Alder Lake is meant to be a consumer part contemporary with Sapphire Rapids, which is server only. They're likely based on the same (performance) core, with Adler Lake additionally having low-power cores. Last I heard the expectation was still that these new parts would enter the market at the end of this year.
