Aurora will have over nine thousand nodes, with each node being composed of two Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids[14] processors, six Xe GPU's and a unified memory architecture which will make a single node have a maximum computing power of 130 teraFLOPS.[15] It will have around 10 petabytes of memory and 230 PB of storage.

The machine is estimated to consume around 60 MW[/b].[16] For comparison, the fastest computer in the world today, Frontier uses 21 MW while Summit uses 13 MW.

Tom's HW

Intel's 4th Generation Xeon Scalable Sapphire Rapids processor was originally meant to ship in 2021, but Intel delayed it to early 2022 — eventually moving high-volume availability of the processor to mid-2022. After shipping the initial production release qualification (PRQ) Sapphire Rapids processor models to select customers in Q1, the company moved high-volume availability again, to the second half of this year (which could have been interpreted as July or August). Apparently they're now delayed further, which probably means fall given that Intel's volume ramp will continue into 2023.
