Leadership Performance with 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
April 2019 saw the launch of the 2nd-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor (formerly codenamed Cascade Lake), a server-class processor. This new processor family has already set 95 performance world records, earning performance leadership1. New features include Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost) for AI deep learning inference acceleration and support for Intel® Optane™ DC (data center) persistent memory. These processors will continue to deliver leadership performance with up to 56 cores
per CPU socket and 12 DDR4 memory channels per socket―making them ideal for a wide variety of HPC, AI, and analytics applications with high-density infrastructures.
