Intel introduced its latest processors for the data center, cloud, network, edge and PCs, and featuring AI optimizations.
Some highlights:
5th Gen Intel Xeon processors (code-named Emerald Rapids) optimized for networking workloads including specialized AI and virtualized workloads.
Xeon for the network
- 1.51x higher throughput with 5G core user plane functions (UPF) vs. prior generation. 1.37x performance per watt improvement with Intel Infrastructure Power Manager software for 5G UPF applications vs. prior generation. • 3.73x higher throughput on VPP IPSec (1420B) with integrated Intel QAT accelerator (as compared to without Intel QAT). 1.69x higher connections per second on NGINX TLS 1.3 Webserver Handshake with integrated Intel QAT accelerator vs. prior generation.
Xeon for the edge
- 1.29x average performance-per-watt gain vs. 3rd Gen Intel Xeon® Gold 6348 processor. 1.59x average performance gain vs. 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Gold 6348 processor 3.13x higher real-time inference performance for image classification vs. AMD EPYC 9334 5.28x higher real-time inference performance for object detection vs. 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Gold 6348 processor
Intel expects to deliver its Gaudi3 AI accelerator for deep learning and large-scale generative AI models.
Intel Core Ultra processors for the edge
