Only Data Center CPU with Built-in AI Acceleration
3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors are the only data center CPU with built-in AI acceleration, supported by end-to-end data science tools, and a vast ecosystem of smart solutions.
Intel® Deep Learning Boost
Accelerate Your AI Journey with Intel®
Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory
A new foundation for performance begins with support for Intel’s breakthrough Intel Optane persistent memory, delivering up-to 36TB of system-level memory capacity when combine with traditional DRAM, helping to transform critical data workloads – from cloud and databases, to In-memory analytics, and content delivery networks, now supported by select Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
Advanced Security Technologies
3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors include Intel® SGX, which protects data and application code in real time from the edge to the data center and multi-tenant public cloud, enabling enhanced collaboration (for example for federated learning in AI) using shared data - without compromising privacy.
Outstanding Gen-on-Gen Performance
The new 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processors are based on a balanced, efficient architecture that increases core performance, memory, and I/O bandwidth to accelerate diverse workloads from the data center to the edge.
Available with up to 40 powerful cores.
Built-in workload acceleration features include
Intel Deep Learning Boost, Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512, and Intel Speed Select Technology.
Available Multi-Socket Scale to Propel Insights Four-to-eight–socket 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver multi-socket core count density, with up to 224 cores per platform in an 8-socket configuration.
Up to six Intel UltraPath Interconnect (Intel UPI) channels increase platform scalability and improve inter-CPU bandwidth for I/O-intensive workloads versus the previous generation, offering the perfect balance between improved throughput and energy efficiency.
