New 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver a significant
performance increase compared with the prior generation, with an
average 46% improvement on popular data center workloads.1 The
processors also add new and enhanced platform capabilities
including Intel SGX for built-in security, and Intel Crypto
Acceleration and Intel DL Boost for AI acceleration. These new
capabilities, combined with Intel’s broad portfolio of Intel®
Select Solutions and Intel® Market Ready Solutions, enable
customers to accelerate deployments across cloud, AI, enterprise,
HPC, networking, security and edge applications.
“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. “Intel is uniquely positioned with the
architecture, design and manufacturing to deliver the breadth of
intelligent silicon and solutions our customers demand.”
3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors
Leveraging 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.2 The platform supports up
to 6 terabytes of system memory per socket, up to 8 channels of
DDR4-3200 memory per socket and up to 64 lanes of PCIe Gen4 per
socket.
New 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors are optimized for
modern workloads that run in both on-premise and distributed
multicloud environments. The processors provide customers with a
flexible architecture including built-in acceleration and advanced
security capabilities, leveraging decades of innovation.
- Built-in AI acceleration: The latest 3rd Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable processors deliver the AI performance, productivity and
simplicity that enable customers to unlock more valuable insights
from their data. As the only data center CPU with built-in AI
acceleration, extensive software optimizations and turnkey
solutions, the new processors make it possible to infuse AI into
every application from edge to network to cloud. The latest
hardware and software optimizations deliver 74% faster AI
performance compared with the prior generation and provide up to
1.5 times higher performance across a broad mix of 20 popular AI
workloads versus AMD EPYC 7763 and up to 1.3 times higher
performance on a broad mix of 20 popular AI workloads versus Nvidia
A100 GPU.3
- Built-in security: With hundreds of research studies and
production deployments, plus the ability to be continuously
hardened over time, Intel SGX protects sensitive code and data with
the smallest potential attack surface within the system. It is now
available on 2-socket Xeon Scalable processors with enclaves that
can isolate and process up to 1 terabyte of code and data to
support the demands of mainstream workloads. Combined with new
features, including Intel® Total Memory Encryption and Intel®
Platform Firmware Resilience, the latest Xeon Scalable processors
address today’s most pressing data protection concerns.
- Built-in crypto acceleration: Intel Crypto Acceleration
delivers breakthrough performance across a host of important
cryptographic algorithms. Businesses that run encryption-intensive
workloads, such as online retailers who process millions of
customer transactions per day, can leverage this capability to
protect customer data without impacting user response times or
overall system performance.
Additionally, to accelerate workloads on the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable platform, software developers can optimize their
applications using oneAPI open, cross-architecture programming,
which provides freedom from technical and economic burdens of
proprietary models. The Intel® oneAPI Toolkits help realize the
processors’ performance, AI and encryption capabilities through
advanced compilers, libraries, and analysis and debug tools.
Intel Xeon Scalable processors are supported by more than 500
ready-to-deploy Intel® IoT Market Ready Solutions and Intel Select
Solutions that help to accelerate customer deployments — with up to
80% of our Intel Select Solutions being refreshed by end of
year.
