New Intel Xeon 6 Processors – Officially Unveiled
The new Intel Xeon 6 processors that have now been unveiled as mentioned are designed for advanced GPU-powered AI systems, and they feature P-cores or Performance cores. Intel’s Speed Select Technology – Turbo Frequency (Intel SST-TF) and Priority Core Turbo technology (PCT) are included within them, thereby delivering customizable CPU core frequencies and boosted GPU performance. Among the three new Intel Xeon 6 processors, the Intel Xeon 6776P processor with robust memory capacity and bandwidth is integrated on NVIDIA’s DGX B300 AI system.
Speaking more, the new Intel Xeon 6 processors have high core counts with up to 128 P-cores per CPU and deliver exceptional single-threaded performance. When compared to other competitor products, 30% faster memory speeds are offered with the support for leading memory bandwidth featuring MRDIMMs and Compute Express Link. Enhanced I/O performance is also guaranteed, relying on up to 20% more PCIe lanes. FP16 precision arithmetic support is also given on the CPUs, making them capable of performing efficient data pre-processing as well as critical CPU tasks. Reliability, serviceability, and availability are also the notable key features of the new Intel Xeon 6 processors.
“These new Xeon SKUs demonstrate the unmatched performance of Intel Xeon 6, making it the ideal CPU for next-gen GPU-accelerated AI systems. We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver one of the industry’s highest-performing AI systems, helping accelerate AI adoption across industries,” said Karin Eibschitz Segal (Corporate Vice President and Interim General Manager of the Data Center Group at Intel).
