Intel launches Xeon 6 processors with performance cores for 2X AI processing
1 min read
Summary
Chipmaker Intel has launched its new performance-core-equipped Xeon 6 processors, which the firm claims will offer better performance across data centre workloads and up to two times higher AI processing performance.
The new Xeon 6 processors for network and edge applications also include Intel’s vRAN Boost delivery, which offers up to 2.4 times the capacity for radio access network (RAN) workloads.
The firm hopes the new launch will help it get back to the top of the market after losing its crown as the world’s biggest chip maker and having to replace its CEO late last year.
Intel also faces competition from AMD and Nvidia, the latter of which has become one of the world’s most valuable companies thanks to its GPUs and AI processors.
