Apparently all of the Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs have the accelerator modules, they're just enabled by a software license. A safe bet is that all of the hyperscalers would have them enabled, otherwise these Intel CPUs are pointless and totally uncompetitive with 9004 series AMD chpis.

There are about half a dozen DB vendors that have announced support, including Microsoft's own SQL Server 2022: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2023/03/09/sql-server-2022-intel-quickassist-technology-overview/ https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2023/03/09/sql-se... The other DBs with support are all "cloud era" technologies that are infrequently deployed on-prem.
