Emerald Rapids is [[Intel]]'s fifth generation of "Xeon Scalable" server [[central processing unit|CPU]]s, succeeding [[Sapphire Rapids]]. Emerald Rapids uses the same core design as Sapphire Rapids, but a redesigned chiplet layout (two die instead of four) and much more [[L3 cache]].

Only the XCC products are materially changed; lower-core-count single-chiplet products are mostly the same across generations.

Emerald Rapids uses the [[Eagle Stream]] platform, with 8-channel [[DDR5]] up to 5600MT/s (varies by SKU) and 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes.
