Scalable Family
Today’s general availability announcement follows Intel’s
largest data center early ship program with more than 500,000 Intel
Xeon Scalable processors already sold to leading enterprise,
high-performance computing, cloud and communication services
provider customers. Customers will benefit from a dramatic
performance increase of 1.65x on average2 over previous generation
technology. With 58 world records and counting, Intel Xeon Scalable
delivers industry leading performance across the broadest range of
workloads.
Intel Xeon Scalable processors also provide businesses with the
richest suite of platform feature innovations that deliver
significant performance increases across key workloads. These
include:
- Artificial Intelligence:
Delivers 2.2x higher deep learning training and inference3 compared
to the previous generation, and 113x deep learning performance3
gains compared to a 3-year-old non-optimized server system when
combined with software optimizations speeding delivery of AI-fueled
services.
- Networking: Delivers up
to 2.5x increased IPSec forwarding rate22 for key networking
applications compared to previous generation when using Intel
QuickAssist and DPDK increasing the value derived from network
transformation.
- Virtualization: Operates
up to an estimated 4.2x more virtual machines13 (VMs) versus a
4-year-old system for rapid service deployment, server utilization,
lower energy costs and space efficiency spurring enterprise data
center modernization.
- High Performance
Computing: Provides up to a 2x FLOPs/clock improvement1
with Intel AVX-512 as well as integrated Intel Omni-Path
Architecture ports, delivering improved compute capability, I/O
flexibility and memory bandwidth to accelerate discovery and
innovation.
- Storage: Processes up to
5x more IOPS11 while reducing latency by up to 70 percent11 versus
out-of-the-box NVMe SSDs when combined with Intel® Optane™ SSDs and
Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK), making data more
accessible for advanced analytics.
The Intel Xeon Scalable processor features a new core
microarchitecture, new on-die interconnects and memory controllers.
The resulting platform optimizes performance as well as the
reliability, security and manageability necessary in data centers
and networking infrastructure.
- Performance: The Intel Xeon
Scalable processors deliver an overall performance increase up to
1.65x2 versus the previous generation, and up to 5x19 OLTP
warehouse workloads versus the current install base—accelerating
today’s modern-day workloads including modeling and simulation,
machine learning, HPC and digital content creation. These
significant performance gains are enabled through new features such
as Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512), which
boost performance of computationally intensive tasks, a new Intel
Mesh Architecture for reduced system latency, Intel QuickAssist
Technology for hardware acceleration of cryptography and data
compression operations and integrated high-speed fabric with Intel
Omni-Path Architecture for cost-effective deployment of HPC
clusters.
- Scalability: Optimized to meet
the wide range of performance demands in data centers and
communications networks, the Intel Xeon Scalable processors offer
up to 28 cores and up to 6 terabytes of system memory (4-socket
systems), and scale to support 2-socket through 8-socket systems
and beyond, powering entry-level workloads to the most
mission-critical applications.
- Agility: Compute, network and
storage performance and software ecosystem optimizations of the
Intel Xeon Scalable processors make it ideal for software defined,
TCO (total cost of ownership)-optimized, data centers that
dynamically self-provision resources — on premise, through the
network, and in the cloud — based on workload needs.
- Security without Compromise:
Data protection through full encryption has long carried a
significant performance overhead. Application can now run with less
than 1 percent16 overhead with data-at-rest encryption turned on.
The new Intel Xeon Scalable processor also delivers a 3.1x
performance18 improvement generation-over-generation in
cryptography performance. Intel has extended processor
security features with Intel Key Protection Technology delivering
enhanced protection to security key attacks. In addition Intel Xeon
Scalable is designed to secure the platform with further
advancements in hardware root of trust.
