NEC set a new performance benchmark for User Plane Function (UPF) processing of user data traffic in 5G core networks (5GC): a throughput of 1.3Tbps per server on Intel servers with 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
In recent years, NEC has been working to improve UPF performance and its processing efficiency by applying advanced approaches such as optimizing CPU processing, accelerating memory access, and reducing memory access delays.
NEC has also been continuously evaluating the latest hardware to improve performance and has now successfully confirmed the groundbreaking high throughput of 1.3Tbps in testing of a UPF on servers using 4th generation Intel Xeon scalable processors. Moreover, NEC has ensured the energy efficiency of the UPF by using Intel Infrastructure Power Manager, enabling the company to offset the influence of increasing power consumption in pursuit of carbon neutrality.
