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.

and manageability necessary in data centers and networking infrastructure.
- Performance: The Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver
an overall performance increase up to 1.65×2 versus the
previous generation, and up to 5×19 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.
