&lt;p&gt;Intel Diamond Rapids Xeon 7: 192 Cores, PCIe 6.0, and a Bold Architectural Shift&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At COMPUTEX 2026, Intel officially disclosed the core specifications of its next-generation &lt;strong&gt;Diamond Rapids Xeon 7&lt;/strong&gt; server processor family, scheduled for release in 2027. While the headline figures—192 cores, PCIe 6.0 support, and 16-channel DDR5 memory—are impressive, the most surprising announcement was the temporary removal of Hyper-Threading (SMT).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
