Processor Features
The Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family provides the foundation for a powerful datacenter platform. The key features are as
follows:
•
Higher Per-Core Performance: Up to 28 cores, delivery high performance and scalability for compute-intensive workloads across
compute, storage & network usages.
•
Greater Memory Bandwidth/Capacity: 50% increased memory bandwidth and capacity. 6 memory channels vs. 4 memory
channels of previous generation for memory intensive workloads.
•
Expanded I/O: 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth and throughput for demanding I/O-intensive workloads.
•
Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI): Up to three Intel UPI channels increase scalability of the platform to as many as eight
sockets, as well as improves inter-CPU bandwidth for I/O intensive workloads.
•
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) with a single AVX512 fused multiply add (FMA) execution units. SKUs
which support Advanced RAS enable a 2nd FMA execution unit.
•
Security without Compromise: Near-zero encryption overhead enables higher performance on all secure data transactions.
