If recent speculation from AdoredTV is correct, AMD and Intel will be releasing new server chips next year with double the core count. The channel claims that Rome, AMD’s successor for their current Naples-based EPYC chips, will feature a 9-die design comprising 8 CPU dies and 1 IO die for a total of 64 cores. Intel will be countering with their 3-die Cooper Lake, comprising 2 CPU dies and 1 IO die for a total of 56 cores.
AMD's Naples based EPYC and Intel's Skylake SP-based Xeon have a maximum core count of 32 and 28 cores respectively. If these rumors are true, then the maximum core count for both vendors will double in 2019. While AMD has already bet on the multi-chip design, Intel has not yet thrown their hat in the ring (except perhaps with Kaby Lake G, which has one GPU and one CPU die as well as HBM2 on one package).
