> Sapphire Rapids die photos have been out there for a long time. Go search the web. :)
Thank you for mentioning that. Using the Sapphire Rapids die photo here,
techpowerup.com/292204/intel-sapphire-rapids-xeon-4-tile-mcm-annotated
I measured the size of the block labeled “Accelerators: DSA, QAT, DLB” and I got 2.9% of the total die area. The labeling doesn’t mention the In-memory Analytics Accelerators (IAA) but the die photo seems to show four distinct areas so it is probably included. This 2.9% of total die area will not have a significant effect on yield.
It is safe to assume all these accelerators are tested and working on all parts with Intel On Demand. Otherwise, Intel’s crippleware scheme should be called Intel On Request That Might Be Turned Down, instead of Intel On Demand. Customers have to know the capability of the SKU they are buying. There can’t be two parts with different capabilities that have the same part number.
