The latest Intel Xeon Workstation CPU Roadmap has leaked out which confirms that Intel is working on its next-generation Alder Lake-S Entry-level processors for launch in Q3 2021. The leaked Xeon roadmap was spotted by HXL (@9550Pro) and shows that Rocket Lake Xeon W-1300 chips will soon be replaced by Xeon W-1400 Alder Lake CPUs.
The Intel Alder Lake-S Xeon Workstation CPUs will be similar to the Alder Lake-S Core CPUs for the desktop platform. The main difference is that they will feature key workstation technologies such as vPro for businesses and entry-level workstation PCs. Coming to the details, it looks like the Xeon W-1400 Alder Lake-S CPUs will be supported by the brand new W680 platform which will comprise the LGA 1700 socket. W680 will be one of the many Intel 600-series chipsets that will launch along-side Alder Lake-S CPUs with the flagship being the Z690.
