this revert by User:Visite fortuitement prolongée on 19:05, 8 April 2023 UTC:
It does not directly succeed / replace Emerald Rapids. Sierra Forest is the first generation of a new series of "E-core only" server processors aimed at cloud datacentres. The processors codenamed after "Forest" are in the E-core only CPUs roadmap.
Meanwhile, processors codenamed after "Rapids", e.g. Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids, these are in the P-core only CPUs roadmap, aimed at general server market, and high-performance computing.
So as you can see, it does not replace or succeed anything. It's the first of a new line of processors aimed at a different segment of server consumers, much like what Zen 4c is to Zen 4 (former does not succeed the latter).
The actual successor to Emerald Rapids is Granite Rapids, see Intel server CPU roadmap
here.
You are right in that it is not an actual variant of a high-performance server processor either. Though it does use the same socket as Emerald Rapids, so same package. We probably should just remove all claims of "variant", "predecessor" altogether, as this new E-core only processor isn't really based on anything, which I'm going to do now.
