Intel unveiled ite new range of powerful Xeon Scalable Processors targeting the data center industry with performance capabilities to handle compute-hungry tasks including real-time analytics, virtualized infrastructure and high-performance computing.
The company called the launch of Intel’s Xeon Scalable processors to the greatest set of data center and network processor advancements in a whole decade. The new set of processors are build with brand new core microarchitecture, new on-die interconnects and memory controllers. The resulting platform optimizes performance as well as the reliability, security and manageability offering businesses the industry’s highest energy efficiency and system-level performance averaging 1.65x higher performance over the prior generation.
Designed to support the growing workload environments, such as cloud computing, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, the new processors deliver 2.2x performance over the prior generation. It features the richest suite of platform innovations and several integrated performance-boosting technologies including Intel AVX-512, Intel Mesh Architecture, Intel QuickAssist, Intel Optane SSDs, Intel Omni-Path Fabric and more delivering up to 4.2x more virtual machines13 (VMs) versus a 4-year-old system leading to 65 percent TCO improvement.
“Data center and network infrastructure is undergoing massive transformations to support emerging use cases like precision medicine, artificial intelligence and agile network services paving the path to 5G, Intel Xeon Scalable processors represent the biggest data center advancement in a decade.” said Navin Shenoy, executive vice president and general manager of the Intel Data Center Group.
