Aren't Intel Xeon Rapids and Intel Xeon Forest just different target markets? Rapids has fewer but faster cores in general, and more special-purpose accelerators (e.g. AMX, QAT), while Forest is focused on maximum compute density (just pack in as many fast-enough cores as you can).
IIRC Granite Rapids is also not _that_ old, and either current or a single generation behind. (Has its successor landed yet? IIRC GNR is the same generation as Sierra Forest).
