Exceeding what we initially thought possible, today's application providers continue to deliver next-gen solutions like AI, HPC, medical discovery, and beyond. Intel introduced its 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and a family of related technologies earlier this year, seeing the need to power these innovations.
The following are a few ways Intel's latest chip architecture can power your solutions forward. For more information on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, UNICOM Engineering developed a white paper, Building on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors.
Better-Than-Ever Processor Performance
To support the solutions of tomorrow, 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors offer faster-than-ever processing with up to 40 cores per processor.
As a benefit, solution providers can now leverage more computational power than ever for their applications. Improvements include 1.46x average performance improvement, 1.6x higher memory bandwidth, and 2.66x higher memory capacity over the prior generation of processors.
Enhanced Firmware Security & Resilience
Solution providers can secure code using features such as Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX), Intel Crypto Acceleration, Intel Total Memory Encryption, and Intel Platform Firmware Resilience (Intel FPR) application data nearly anywhere it resides.
Therefore, software providers continue to support their customers and innovate without fear of various attacks. In addition, these security features don't force a sacrifice in CPU performance.
Workload Acceleration for AI & HPC Apps
The performance of AI and HPC applications is closely tied to the performance of the CPU. Therefore, Intel has made a concerted effort to enhance the performance of a variety of workloads like AI, HPC, 3D modeling, and imaging by offering features like Intel DL Boost with int8 and Intel DL Boost with bfloat16, and Intel Advanced Vector Extension 512 (Intel AVX 512).
Therefore, no matter the complexity of the application or next-gen solution, servers based on Intel Xeon 3rd Generation Scalable Processors can deliver the processing power needed. Demonstrated over multiple performance tests, 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors provide up to 1.74x gen-on-gen improvement in language processing inference and up to 1.54x gen-on-gen HPC improvement.
5G Connectivity Improvements
As we know, the modern workforce continues to spread further and further from core data centers. In response, Intel stepped up and delivered significant performance improvement across several crucial 5G Metrics.
For example, amongst other improvements, 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors provided an average increase of up to 1.62x in 5G performance, up to 1.76x in enhanced DPDK L3 forwarding, and up to 1.63x better CDN throughput, all versus the prior generation.
Cloud and Enterprise Scalability and Performance
Just as today's cloud and multi-cloud environments are constantly growing and changing, so should their hardware be able to scale and adapt. Thanks to Intel's continuing innovation, many of the world's major cloud providers either use or plan to use 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors.
Enhancing the performance and scalability of cloud environments, 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors offer up to 1.72x higher virtualization performance and up to 1.58x higher performance on cloud-based microservices, both over the prior generation. Also, with select SKUs, the latest generation offers IaaS optimization and SaaS optimization.
