#Intel Xeon Scalable processors

Intel has recently unveiled the new 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable, dubbed by the company as the only x86 data center processor with built-in AI acceleration, delivering on average 46% increased performance. Code-named “Ice Lake,” the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors are noted as the foundation of Intel’s data center platform with the leveraging power of AI. The new 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors are identified as the combination of Intel’s portfolio of Intel Optane persistent memory and storage, Ethernet adapters, FPGAs, and optimized software solutions. As per Intel, these processors deliver performance and workload optimizations across hybrid-cloud, high-performance computing (HPC), networking, and intelligent edge applications. Moreover, the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors feature a flexible architecture with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) acceleration with Intel DL Boost technology and advanced security capabilities to protect data and application code with Intel Software Guard Extension (Intel SGX) and Intel Crypto Acceleration. Equipped with Intel 10 nanometer (nm) process technology, the latest 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver up to 40 cores per processor and up to 2.65 times higher average performance gain compared with a 5-year-old system. “Our 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platform is the most flexible and performant in our history, designed to handle the diversity of workloads from the cloud to the network to the edge,” said Navin Shenoy, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Platforms Group at Intel.
