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
