Get groundbreaking advances in processing technology
with the Intel® Xeon® 6 processor
Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Performance-cores (P-cores) are ideal host CPUs. Serving as the brain of an AI-accelerated system, the host CPU performs a wide variety of management, optimization, preprocessing, processing, and offloading tasks to facilitate system performance and efficiency.
GPUs and Intel® Gaudi® AI accelerators provide a system’s high-powered muscles.
These discrete AI accelerators dedicate their parallel-processing capabilities to large language model (LLM) training for GenAI and to mod
1. Superior I/O performance
Higher input/output (I/O) bandwidth accelerates data offloads and elevates operational efficiency.
Boost I/O bandwidth with up to 20 percent more PCIe lanes than the previous generation (up to 192 PCIe 5.0 lanes per processor).
2. Higher core counts and single-threaded performance
Higher CPU core counts and single-threaded performance translate into faster data feeds for GPUs/accelerators, which helps shorten models’ time-to-train. High max turbo processor frequencies boost single-threaded CPU performance.
Up to 128 P-cores per CPU deliver 2x more cores per socket than the previous generation.
4. Dedicated RAS support
Intel’s industry-leading reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) support reduces costly downtime for large AI/HPC systems. Advanced management capabilities include telemetry, platform monitoring, control over shared resources, and real-time firmware updates. RAS benefits from the collective expertise of platform partners, ISVs, and solution integrators.
Minimize business disruptions with Intel® Xeon® 6 processors, built to maximize uptime and operational efficiency.
5. Flexibility for mixed workloads
Intel® Xeon® 6 processors are designed to support a wide variety of workloads as host CPUs, delivering both performance and efficiency. In some cases, host CPUs in AI systems might need to support limited AI functionality during the data preprocessing phase.
Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) includes newly added support for FP16 precision arithmetic to support data preprocessing and other host CPU responsibilities in AI-accelerated systems.
Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Performance cores (P-cores)
With more cores, double the memory bandwidth, and AI acceleration in every core, Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with P-cores provide twice the performance for the widest range of workloads, including AI and high-performance computing (HPC).3,4 Lower your total cost of ownership (TCO) by migrating from 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors (4208) to Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with P-cores (6952P).5
