Verdict
Intel Xeon 6736P
8.6 / 10 Expert Rating
The Intel Xeon 6736P is the throughput-leaning 36-core Granite Rapids part, best for scale-out HPC and simulation work that values core count over per-core clock speed.
Intel Xeon 6740P
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The Intel Xeon 6740P is the value entry point into Intel's 48-core Granite Rapids tier, trading some clock speed for a lower price than the 6741P/6747P/6748P.
