Intel's new Xeon processors have some problems and therefore there will be delays with production.

Intel's next-generation Xeon lineup will be a huge step up in the already high-performing processor world. Like Intel's 12th generation, the Sapphire Rapid will also have E and P cores and is said to bring "significant performance improvements". In total, this processor has 56 cores.
However, there are some problems. Originally, the processor was supposed to be available for purchase as early as 2021. However, this was postponed to the beginning of this year. Now the mass production of the Rapids has been postponed to the second half of 2022 (starting in July).
Large customers with big data centers will get the processors earlier than everyone else, since they need several of these processors and thus Intel can still earn money.
