Cascade Lake is an Intel codename for a 14 nm server, workstation and enthusiast processor generation, launched in April 2019.[3][4] In Intel's process–architecture–optimization model, Cascade Lake is an optimization of Skylake.[5][6][7][8][9] Intel states that this will be their first generation to support 3D XPoint-based memory modules.[10] It also features Deep Learning Boost (DPL) instructions and mitigations for Meltdown and Spectre.[4][11] Intel officially launched new Xeon Scalable SKUs on February 24, 2020.[12]
