It looks to me Intel will cannibalize its older, 5th, generation Xeon processors. Here's a comparison of two 64 core processors, one is 5th generation, launched in Q4 '23 [1], and one is 6th generation, launched in Q2 '24 [2]. The first one as an MSRP of $12400 (not a mistake) and the second $2749. It is true that the 5th generation CPU has 128 threads, vs only 64 for the 6th generation, but is this worth a price premium of 350% ?
