Intel Reinforces Data Center Leadership with New 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon
Scalable Processors
For more information, please visit Intel Newsroom
What’s new: Intel today announced the addition of new performance- and performance-per-dollar-
optimized processors to the Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform, the industry’s most widely deployed server
platform with more than 30 million units sold. The addition of these new processors targets the majority
of Intel’s mainstream Xeon Scalable customers across cloud, network and edge. With broad availability
starting today from leading OxMs, these new 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors reinforce Intel’s data
center leadership by providing greater performance and performance-per-dollar choices for customers.
“Intel’s data centric platforms offer the broadest market coverage of any server processor platform – from
cloud, through the network, to the intelligent edge,” said Lisa Spelman, corporate vice president and
general manager of the Xeon and Memory Group within Intel’s Data Platforms Group. “Working closely
with our customers, we are delivering these new server processors to address their performance and
pricing needs across a broad range of markets and workloads.”
The new 2
nd-Gen Intel Xeon Gold processors deliver an average of 1.36x higher performance(1) and 1.42x
better performance-per-dollar(1) compared to the 1st-Gen Intel Xeon Gold processors.
To deliver this level of performance and value, Intel has optimized these new server processors in several
areas, including adding more cores, increasing cache sizes or by boosting processor frequency. The new
processors, labeled with an “R,” “T,” or “U” suffix, are designed for dual-and single-socket mainstream
and entry-level server systems. The addition of more cores and increased cache in these processors are
targeted at workloads where capacity-per-server is critical, such as virtualized clouds, hyper-
converged infrastructure (HCI)and network function virtualization (NFV).
Intel also announced today two new processors (Intel Xeon Gold 6256 and 6250) that feature the
industry’s highest server processor frequency, delivering a base and turbo frequency up to 3.9 GHz and
4.5 GHz, respectively. These high-frequency processors are optimized for workloads that scale with clock
frequency, such as financial trading, simulation & modeling, HPC and databases.
The new 2nd-gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors target three broad customer use cases:
1. Industry-leading Frequencies for High-performance Usages: New Intel Xeon
Gold 6200 processors deliver up to 4.5 GHz processor frequency with Intel Turbo Boost
Technology and up to 33% more processor cache, offering customers breakthrough performance for
frequency-fueled workloads.
2. Enhanced Performance for Mainstream Usages: New Intel Xeon Gold 6200R and
5200R processors deliver built-in value through a combination of higher base and Intel Turbo Boost
Technology frequencies, in addition to increased processor cache.
3. Increased Value and Capability for Entry-level, Edge, Networking and IoT Usages: New
Intel Xeon Gold 6200U, Silver 4200R, Sliver 4210T and Bronze 3200R processors deliver increased broad ecosystem partners are taking advantage of the additional Xeon Scalable processor value
now. Hundreds of systems featuring the new 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors are being offered
through leading OEMs and ODMs. Systems are available today, with more in the coming weeks.
With these new processors, Intel continues to reinforce its data center leadership by delivering the
performance and value customers require. The 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors support the
broadest market coverage of any server processor platform. Today’s Intel Xeon Scalable processors
remain the only mainstream server processor with built-in AI acceleration, with Intel DL Boost technology,
and support for Intel Optane persistent memory which offers a large and persistent memory tier at
affordable costs.
