4th Generation Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable Processors

Leading performance with the most built-in accelerators

It’s now more critical than ever for technology to deliver business value as organizations look to scale, drive down costs, and deliver new services. Instead of customizing systems for new applications, which can add complexity, enterprises can achieve the performance needed to meet a wide variety of deployments—both today and in the future—with a scalable platform.

4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors are designed to accelerate performance across the fastest-growing workloads in artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, networking, storage, and high-performance computing (HPC). These processors have the most built-in accelerators of any CPU on the market. They help bring a zero-trust security strategy to life while unlocking new opportunities for business collaboration and insights—even with sensitive or regulated data—with advanced security technologies. You can scale across multiple clouds and edges to meet your deployment needs. And Intel Xeon Scalable processors offer the most choice and flexibility in cloud selection, with smooth application portability.

Intel® Accelerator Engines redefine performance
Redefine what you expect from a processor. Built-in acceleration is an alternative, more efficient way to achieve higher performance than growing the CPU core count. With built-in accelerators and software optimizations, previous-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors have been shown to deliver leading performance per watt on targeted real-world workloads.¹ This can result in more efficient CPU utilization, lower electricity consumption, and higher return on investment (ROI), while helping businesses achieve their sustainability goals.

Intel^® Xeon^® Max Series Processors

Maximize performance with improved bandwidth
From weather forecasting, to human genome mapping and helping to cure the world’s deadliest diseases, to designing more energy-efficient materials, high-performance computing (HPC) touches every part of our lives. Advances in HPC and AI drive competitiveness and bring scientific computing demand to new heights, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There is incredible diversity in traditional HPC software, and if you look at common workloads by vertical and characteristic, some are memory bound.

Others are compute bound. Some have small kernels with a lot of control flow. Others have large, data-parallel kernels. Most involve extremely large data sets. The Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series supercharges Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with high bandwidth memory (HBM) and is architected to unlock performance and speed discoveries in data-intensive workloads, such as modeling, artificial intelligence, deep learning, high performance computing (HPC) and data analytics.

Maximize performance with improved bandwidth
The Intel Xeon CPU Max Series features a new microarchitecture and supports a rich set of platform enhancements, including increased core counts, advanced I/O and memory subsystems, and built-in accelerators that will speed delivery of life-changing discoveries. Intel Max Series CPUs feature:
