5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

Trusted performance. Exceptional efficiency.

The digital universe is buzzing with data. From telemetry data collected at the edge to online transactions to cloud data stores, our world is brimming with information. But raw data alone, regardless of its volume, is not what propels us into the future. To truly innovate, we must convert this abundance of data into intelligence.

Intel enables this transformation and helps businesses solve some of the world’s most complex problems with its software and hardware, accelerating time to actionable insights. Customers access the performance and power efficiency they need to optimally run diverse and demanding workloads, using one of the most extensive product portfolios on the market. Together with its broad ecosystem of partners, Intel enables businesses to meet every challenge head-on.

Now Intel’s customers can harness the power of 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors to turn data into knowledge and drive innovation forward. These processors deliver impressive performance-per-watt gains across all workloads, plus outsized performance and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for AI, databases, networking, storage, and high-performance computing (HPC).³ They offer more compute, larger shared last-level cache, and faster memory at the same power envelope as the previous generation.⁴ They are also software- and platform compatible with the previous generation of 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors, so you can minimize testing and validation when deploying new systems for AI and other workloads.

5th Gen Intel Xeon processors excel in a range of AI use cases, including:

  • Generative AI: Run generative AI models on your CPU foundation, like LLMs and text-to-image generation.
  • Recommender systems: Deliver fast, personalized products or content recommendations that don’t slow down the user experience.
  • Natural language processing (NLP): Enable more responsive smart assistants, chatbots, and predictive text with a performance leap in NLP inference.
  • Machine learning (ML): Get results faster when you apply classical ML to HPC and AI applications.
  • Image classification: Boost productivity and efficiency by detecting defects on the manufacturing line, identifying products in retail applications, and much more.

 

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.
