The upcoming, next-gen Diamond Rapids server CPUs from Intel have received a big shakeup. Previously, both 8-channel and 16-channel SKUs were planned for Xeon 7, expected to succeed existing Xeon 6 models, respectively. Now, Intel has confirmed that 8CH Diamond Rapids has been officially cancelled; Xeon 7 will be only 16-channel.
