Xeon D is a niche part of the portfolio, it's not necessarily about providing the latest and greatest. The Xeon D family is meant for embedded, industrial, or communications use cases where you're expecting to run at 100% load for the life of the equipment (10 years). For context, "server" use condition CPUs like a Xeon Scalable processor is rated for 80% duty cycle for 5 years. Also, Xeon D's have more tame clock speeds and overall TDP wattages as they are often used in rugged applications where cooling and wide ambient temps are huge considerations.
