Intel Launches 'Xeon 6' Branding for Its Latest Generation of Processors

Intel has recently announced a significant update to its Xeon processor lineup, introducing the new “Xeon 6” branding. This change streamlines the naming convention for its upcoming Sierra Forest and Granite Rapids CPU families, focusing on enhanced efficiency and performance.

Efficiency Meets Performance

The Sierra Forest processors, characterized by their Efficient-cores (E-cores), promise a remarkable improvement in energy efficiency. Users can anticipate up to a 4x boost in performance per watt and a 2.7x increase in rack density over previous generations. This advancement means businesses can achieve their sustainability goals while benefiting from lower energy consumption and reduced costs.

On the other hand, the Granite Rapids processors, powered by Performance-cores (P-cores), are set to elevate AI performance capabilities. Incorporating software support for the innovative MXFP4 data format, these CPUs aim to slash next-token latency significantly, facilitating the running of complex Llama-2 models with 70 billion parameters.

Launching Soon

Intel’s strategy with Xeon 6 signifies a pivotal shift towards simplification and enhanced performance in the data center, cloud, and edge computing landscapes. The Sierra Forest E-core models are expected to launch within this quarter, followed closely by the Granite Rapids P-core versions. This rollout heralds a new era of processing efficiency, promising substantial benefits for Intel’s data center customers.

Intel’s move to “Xeon 6” not only exemplifies its commitment to innovation but also ensures its processors remain at the forefront of technology, catering to the ever-evolving demands of the modern digital world.
