In addition to launching processors for desktop computers (desktops) and notebooks, Intel also operates in the corporate market with processors that can deliver high-performance computing through various technologies. 56z33
The company invited journalists to present its new Intel Xeon processors which, compared to the previous generation, manage to deliver lower energy consumption without reducing high power for the most diverse AI tasks and other points. Know all the details.

Currently in their fourth generation, processors Intel Xeon come to the server market delivering enhanced performance, with approximately 2,9x improvement in efficiency per watt on specific tasks using built-in accelerators, and optimizing the power mode with approximately 70 watts of power savings per U.
The company also confirmed that it is keeping an eye on server temperature management. The novelty announced in 2023 features the latest air and cooling solutions that minimize energy consumption in the data center.
Another important advance in relation to the previous generation is that the new processors Intel Xeon come to market to deliver twice as much virtualized radio access network (vRAN) without the need for increased power consumption. The big focus is on optimizing performance, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge workloads and low latency.
Defined as the “most significant releases of recent times”, there are two lines: Intel Xeon U Max Seriess (Sapphire Rapids HBM) and the Intel Data Center GPU Max Series (Ponte Vecchio). It was highlighted that, after testing, the new processors are able to deliver greater efficiency, security, data center performance, updated AI capabilities, network and edge and cloud.
The launch of the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processors and Max Series product family is a pivotal moment in fueling Intel's recovery, reactivating our path to leadership in the data center and increasing our presence in new arenas. Intel's 4th generation Xeon and Max Series product family deliver what customers really want – leading performance and reliability in an environment secure for their real-world requirements – accelerating time to value and driving their pace of innovation.

New Intel Xeon processors are AI-ready 4a63j
There is no denying that artificial intelligence has become a trend in the technology industry again after a long time and to allow the development of new tools and services, the Intel put the new accelerators Advanced Matrix Extension (Intel AMX). In addition, we have real-time training and inference performance PyTorch 10×5,6 higher than the 3rd generation.
In practice, this allows AI professionals to work with the Xeon U Max Series through a proprietary development package, which delivers greater productivity and shorter performance time for deliveries to be made on time, according to the tool they prefer. The job of taking work from the cloud to the edge is also now easier because of the portable AI suite, which makes scaling easier in many industries.
A Intel points out that its new processors also had their artificial intelligence validated with 400 deep machine learning AI models so that companies from different segments can use the tools to create applications and services.
Focus on secure high-performance computing 5e283l
The company also recalls that the new processors Intel Xeon Fourth-generation processors have more built-in accelerators than any other data processor on the market. This allows, through the 100 billion transistors packed into 47 blocks, processors to be able to set new standards in technologies involving physics, life sciences, financial services and much more. Artificial intelligence is included in this range of high possibilities.
Finally, details that make all projects more secure were included in the new processors. The first one is Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX), which prevents information from being modified (personal data and codes) by malicious people.
These processors bring great innovations to the market because they are processors with higher performance and power, but with much lower energy consumption. This helps our customers, among other things, deliver on their sustainability goals. You can access servers with these processors through Lenovo, as the two companies have a very relevant partnership here in Brazil.

Another feature available is the Intel Trust Domain Extensions, used to protect virtual machines (VM). In practice, the processor manages to leave the computers isolated so that no intrusion occurs during the development of the application within the processors. Intel Xeon.
The company confirms that security features ensure data protection in secure environments such as Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud and IBM Cloud.
Argentina's new supercomputer 412p59
Latin America will be able to test the power of the new processors Intel Xeon of 4th generation through the new purchase of Argentina. Manufactured by Lenovo and with the launch announced during the event in São Paulo, the model that will be installed between the end of April and May 2023 will be classified as the 82nd most powerful supercomputer in the world.
Details include a compute capacity of e 15,3 Peta FLOPs (through GPU accelerators) and 440 TFLOPs using its U processors. In other words, the model will be able to perform fifteen thousand three hundred million elementary mathematical operations per second. It also features 296 Intel Ponte Vecchio accelerators (GPUs), and 5120 Intel Sapphire Rapids HBM processor cores (Us). This is what is most modern in relation to the processors already manufactured by Intel.
We are proud of the scientific and technical area of the Ministry of Defense. It is an area that has been severely battered many times and is now on the mend. It is, above all, an area that conducts research and strengthens the link with defense production. We are recreating a whole network of institutions linked to scientific research and, in turn, to defense production. Therefore, the important thing is to achieve synergy within State institutions, but which may also include private companies, especially small and medium technology companies.
Jorge Taiana, Minister of Defense of Argentina
Regarding memory, the model has 1,66 Petabytes (1.660.000 Gigabytes), network for internal interconnection between its nodes of 400 Gigabytes per second, direct water cooling and an electrical consumption of 233 KW.
The supercomputer is 40 times more powerful than the model currently used in Argentina and will be released for use by the entire technology industry. With installation carried out at the National Meteorological Service of Argentina, where the old supercomputer (Huayra Muyu) is also located, the main use of the novelty will be for calculations and other operations. The investment cost was 265 million pesos (R$6,94 million in direct conversion).
