Is this our first look at Intel's Xeon 6 workstation hardware? Leak claims to show W890 platform ahead of Granite Rapids launch

• W890 board confirms Intel’s next workstation platform is nearing final readiness
• Granite Rapids-WS aims to deliver higher compute density for demanding workstation tasks
• The platform supports extensive storage through SATA, SlimSAS, and dual M.2 options

A newly surfaced ADLINK ISB-W890 motherboard has provided the clearest indication yet that Intel’s W890 platform is approaching readiness for the Granite Rapids-WS generation.
