Microsoft has started a preview of Intel’s third-generation Xeon Scalable processors in its Azure cloud.
Unusually, Microsoft has named the exact silicon powering the preview: the Xeon Platinum 8370C from the Ice Lake family.
That device isn’t listed among Intel’s product list, so we only have Microsoft’s scanty specs to go with. Redmond says the CPUs run “all-core Turbo clock speed of 3.5GHz” and offer Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512.
A couple of Ice Lake Xeon Platinum models can reach 3.5GHz, and one hits 3.7GHz. But based on party numbers it looks like Intel has cut a chip just for Microsoft, which is not unusual but always intriguing.
