In their latest press release, which surprisingly comes a day before their competitor releases 7nm server chips, Intel has announced that they will be bringing out 56 core socketed processors with their 14nm Cooper Lake family, in 2020. The new Xeon chips will be accompanied by a completely new platform known as Whitley which will enable better I/O support and also allow compatibility on their future generation of Ice Lake Xeon CPUs based on the 10nm process node.

According to Intel, the next-generation Xeon Scalable family, known as Cooper Lake (SP) & based on the 14nm process node would offer up to 56 cores and 112 threads in a socketed design. The current Cascade Lake-SP family offers up to 28 cores in socketed variants while the Cascade Lake-AP SKUs which come in BGA only, offer up to 56 cores and 112 threads with TDPs as high as 400W. In 2020, Intel would change that as their platform would offer a twice the number of core & thread count on LGA sockets. Following is the official presser from Intel themselves.
