At Intel’s “Data-Centric Innovation Day,” the company revealed next-generation processors and platform technologies to unleash the impact of data.
The 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platform provides the foundation for a powerful data center platform that creates an evolutionary leap in agility and scalability. Enterprises, cloud and communications service providers can drive forward their most ambitious digital initiatives with a feature-rich, versatile platform.
Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver many new capabilities, including:
- Support for Intel’s breakthrough Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory, delivering up-to 36TB of system-level memory capacity when combined with traditional DRAM.
- Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 ramps up-to 4.4GHz, alongside memory subsystem enhancements with support for DDR4-2933 MT/s and 16 Gb DIMM densities.
- Built-in Intel® Deep Learning Boost delivers up to 14×2 inference throughput improvement, and combined with software optimized Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit Intel is accelerating the momentum of expanding artificial intelligence (AI) possibilities at the edge and inside the data center.1
- Intel® Speed Select Technology provides enterprise and infrastructure-as-a-service providers more flexibility to address evolving workload needs. Intel’s new Xeon Scalable processors can be configured to performance settings of core counts and frequencies, effectively creating “Three CPUs in One.”
- Enhanced Intel® Infrastructure Management Technologies to enable increased utilization and workload optimization across data center resources.
- As part of Intel’s ongoing commitment to protect customers and their data, new side-channel protections are directly incorporated into hardware with the introduction of the 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
