How 5G will be powered by servers built on Intel Xeon Scalable processors

Intel Xeon Scalable Processors for serversIntel said the latest servers – built on Intel Xeon Scalable processors — from technology companies Cisco, Dell EMC, IBM and Lenovo can power 5G networks efficiently.

Leading US telecom operator AT&T is already running production traffic using Intel Xeon Scalable processors. AT&T has achieved a major performance improvement using 25 percent fewer servers per cluster.

AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile US are gearing up for 5G launches.

The US-based Intel said Intel Xeon Scalable platform delivers up to 5x more IOPS at up to 70 percent lower latency. Intel Xeon Scalable platform can power emerging 5G networks, offering up to 2.5x better performance for key networking applications.

Intel, the largest semiconductor company in the world, will be targeting cloud and communications service providers, enterprises, HPC and AI engineers with the launch of the new Intel Xeon Scalable platform that received overwhelming support from server vendors.

Customers on the Google Compute Platform have achieved up to 40 percent more performance, and more that 100 percent more performance when the application includes optimization for Intel AVX-512 instructions.

Technicolor has reduced time to render virtual reality content by almost 3x.

“Intel Xeon Scalable platform, with up to 28 of the highest-performance cores, can support up to 4.2x more virtual machines and up to 5x more transactions per second than 4-year-old systems,” said Lisa Spelman of Intel.

Cisco

The data center customers of Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) M5 will benefit from 63 percent cut in administration and management costs and 83 percent increase in the delivery of new application services.

UCS M5 servers — built on the Intel Xeon Scalable processors – offer 2x memory capacity of previous systems.

Cisco lab testing reveals that UCS M5 servers deliver up to 86 percent higher performance over the previous generation of UCS.

UCS Director 6.5 allows data center professionals to complete 80 percent of operational tasks from a single console.

Lenovo

Lenovo announced 42 world record benchmarks for the ThinkSystem servers – built on the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors.

Lenovo’s latest server portfolio includes 14 configurable servers across rack and tower, mission critical, dense and blade platforms, as well as new hyperscale system designs.

Lenovo has added seven new solutions covering cloud, big data, analytics and database that are supported on the new ThinkSystem servers, as well as introducing two new Intel solutions.

IBM

IBM said the new IBM Cloud bare metal servers powered by Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processor and Intel Xeon Gold 5120 and 6140 processors will be designed to help deliver greater performance and generate faster insights from big data workloads.

The latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors can accelerate insights up to 2.3 times faster for financial services workloads, up to 1.5 times faster for manufacturing workloads and up to 1.7 times faster for life sciences workloads.

Dell EMC

Dell EMC PowerEdge 14th generation servers offer 27 percent more CPU cores and 50 percent more memory bandwidth. The new 14th generation Dell EMC PowerEdge server portfolio forms a scalable, automated and secure compute platform for traditional and cloud-native applications, designed for new Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
