On June 7th, Intel held a "Green to New, Releasing New Quality Productivity" themed event ® xeon ® The new product launch event for 6 energy efficient core processors was held in Beijing. At the meeting, Intel launched its first Intel Xeon 6 processor product (codenamed Sierra Forest) equipped with an energy efficiency core, bringing a dual improvement in performance and energy efficiency for high-density and horizontally scalable workloads. At the same time, Intel collaborated with multiple ecological partners such as Kingsoft Cloud, Inspur Information, Nanjing University General Motors, and Memory Technology to share end-to-end innovative solutions based on this processor, as well as its practical achievements and application value in many fields.
With the acceleration of digital transformation, enterprises urgently need to update their aging data center systems to save costs, achieve sustainable development goals, and maximize the use of physical rack space, thereby creating new digital capabilities within the enterprise. The new Intel Xeon 6 platform and processor family are designed specifically to address these challenges. Energy efficient core processors are specifically optimized for high core density and scalability tasks, while performance core processors are optimized for high performance for computationally intensive and AI workloads. The two architectures are compatible, sharing software stacks and an open software and hardware vendor ecosystem.
The Intel Xeon 6 energy-efficient core processor launched this time is based on the Intel 3 process technology. With high core density and excellent performance per watt, it can significantly reduce energy costs while providing efficient computing power. The upgrade of performance and energy efficiency makes it very suitable for demanding high-density, horizontally scalable workloads, including cloud native applications and microservice network functions, distributed data analysis, content distribution networks, and consumer digital services.
In addition, Intel Xeon 6 energy-efficient core processors have significant density advantages. For users with product iteration needs, they can replace old systems and integrate racks in a 3:1 ratio, which will significantly reduce computing cluster power consumption and significantly reduce carbon emissions, accelerating the achievement of sustainable development goals for the enterprise. Compared to second-generation Intel in media transcoding workloads ® xeon ® Compared to processors, Intel Xeon 6 energy-efficient core processors can provide customers with up to 4.2 times rack performance improvement and up to 2.6 times performance improvement per watt. Thanks to its advantages in energy efficiency and physical space, this processor can provide computing power and infrastructure support for numerous AI innovation projects.
In addition to the energy efficiency core products unveiled this time, Intel ® xeon ® The 6-performance core processor (codenamed Granite Rapids) is expected to be launched in the next quarter.
For many years, Intel has focused on product technology innovation and the demand of the Chinese data center market, providing firm support for users to build efficient and energy-saving new data centers. Liang Yali, Vice President of Intel Marketing Group and General Manager of Industry Solutions and Data Center Sales in China, said, "The Intel Xeon 6 Energy Efficiency Core processor is designed for cloud native and large-scale distributed workloads, meeting the high-performance, high-density, and high-energy efficiency requirements of cloud data centers, effectively reducing data center TCO. We hope to build more innovative end-to-end solutions through cooperation with industry partners, providing assistance for the digital transformation of many enterprises." At this press conference, multiple local ecosystem partners shared their latest solutions based on Intel Xeon 6 Energy Efficiency Core products.
Among them, Kingsoft Cloud has released the ninth generation efficient cloud server SE9 equipped with Intel Xeon 6 energy efficiency core processors. This cloud server has undergone deep optimization in multiple dimensions such as computing, network, and storage, which can significantly improve core density and critical workload efficiency. The new generation servers of Inspur Information, also based on the Intel Xeon 6 energy efficiency core processor, fully unleash high-energy efficiency computing power with several core features such as high efficiency, energy conservation, safety and reliability, flexible architecture, and intelligent openness. While reducing operating costs, they improve the utilization of computing infrastructure with higher density, truly helping to alleviate the energy consumption problems faced by today's data centers.
In addition, Nanjing University General Motors also shared its distributed logical data warehouse solution specifically designed to improve energy efficiency in data centers. This solution leverages the multi-core capabilities of Intel's Xeon 6 energy efficiency core processors, as well as innovative upgrades in technology and microarchitecture, to help users improve business deployment density and single node performance. At the same time, Memory Technology is based on the unique innovative design of Intel Xeon 6, integrating the design concept of "low-carbon and energy-saving" throughout the entire lifecycle of its data center servers, and comprehensively promoting the development of high-energy efficiency data centers that combine "high computing power" and "low energy consumption".
With the launch of the first product of the Intel Xeon 6 processor family, Intel is accelerating the construction of an ecosystem based on the Intel Xeon 6 energy-efficient core processor, helping many vertical field enterprises to digital upgrade. In the future, Intel will continue to be guided by market demand, continuously driving ecological innovation with leading product technology, supporting the sustainable development of high-efficiency data centers, and accelerating the release of new quality productivity.
