CAPACITY TEST:
Intel Xeon 6+ Launch Puts CPU Supply on the AI Infrastructure Watchlist
Intel launched Xeon 6+ "Clearwater Forest" at Computex 2026 for scale-out data center workloads.
The processor tops out at 288 Darkmont E-cores per socket, 576MB of L3 cache and compute tiles built on Intel 18A.
The practical test is whether constrained CPU allocation becomes a larger bottleneck for agentic AI data center deployments.
