Cooper Lake (2020) is still a Skylake. They aren't that old!

The 1 that was mostly canned?

It's limited everywhere.

I work at one of those customers; we use loads of them.

Nevermind Ice Lake / Alder Lake (2021) / Raptor Lake (2022) -- Intel hasn't abandoned the "Lake" naming scheme yet.

i.e. Skylake+++++

No, starting with Ice Lake these are on the first actually-new core micro architecture after Skylake (it’s the “Cove” family, starting with Sunny Cove in Ice Lake). They have Lake in the name but these are actually a new micro architecture, finally, not Skylake family.

Facebook?

Also, by "Skylake" I mean whatever the last popular server CPU with the Skylake derived core was... IIRC Cooper Lake was Facebook only, Cascade Lake was HPC, and I cant even remember beyond that, but they've had the same 28C server die forever that hosts everywhere use.

To be fair Ampere Altra is old now too. Kinda a contemporary with Ice Lake and the tail end of Skylake.

Hetzner offering them right now is curious. Maybe its a pipecleaner for the next Ampere gen?

The new Altra developer kit is also very cheap. I wonder if Ampere is dumping overstocked inventory. Given their track record I don't expect the One to be available any time soon.

Does Ampere have a newer offering yet? Probably not? So Hetzner are offering the "current gen".

Meanwhile AMD and Intel both do have a later offering so they are "old".
