Achieve more with flexible, high-performance CPUs

Learn about the latest Intel processor technology to help you make an informed decision when choosing processors for your next server purchase.

Next generation Intel processor technology

3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors are designed to be the foundation for secure, agile, hybrid-cloud data centres. With enhanced hardware-based security and exceptional multi-socket processing performance, these processors are built for mission-critical workloads, machine learning, AI, high performance computing (HPC), and multi-cloud workloads. Available with up to 40 cores.

Key benefits overview

With trusted, hardware-enhanced data service delivery, these CPUs deliver improvements in I/O, memory, storage, and network technologies to harness actionable insights from our increasingly data-fuelled world.
Discover how 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors can enhance your customers’ data centres.

Designed for every challenge

Optimised for cloud, enterprise, HPC, network, security, and IoT workloads with 8 to 40 powerful cores and a wide range of frequency, feature, and power levels.

Built-in AI acceleration

The only data centre CPU with built-in AI acceleration, end-to-end data science tools, and an ecosystem of smart solutions.

Enhanced cloud performance

Specifically engineered for the demands of cloud workloads and to power a wide range of XaaS environments.

Outstanding performance

Based on a balanced, efficient architecture that increases core performance, memory, and I/O bandwidth to accelerate diverse workloads from the data centre to the intelligent edge.

Performance you can rely on

Select 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors support up to 28 cores per processor in four-and-eight-socket configurations, driving enhanced performance, throughput, and CPU frequencies.
Four-to-eight socket 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors deliver multi-socket core count density, with up to 224 cores per platform in an 8-socket configuration.
Up to six Intel UltraPath Interconnect (Intel UPI) channels increase platform scalability and improve inter-CPU bandwidth for I/O-intensive workloads, offering an agile balance between improved throughput and energy efficiency.

Intel Deep Learning Boost

Built-in workload and service acceleration
Intel Deep Learning Boost (Intel DL Boost) acceleration is built-in specifically for the flexibility to run complex AI workloads on the same hardware as your customers’ existing workloads.

With int8 – available on all 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors, Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI) enhance inference workloads by maximising use of compute resources, improving cache utilisation, and reducing potential bandwidth bottlenecks.
With bfloat16 – available on select 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors, the industry’s first x86 support of Brain Floating Point 16-bit (blfoat16)5 brings enhanced artificial intelligence inference and training performance with Intel Deep Learning Boost.

Total security

Delivering a revolutionary step forward for privacy and security, 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors include Intel SGX, which protects data and application code while in use, enabling new ways to collaborate using shared data without compromising privacy.
Intel SGX creates secured enclaves in memory where data and application code can be verified, protected, and kept private while being processed.

Keep data and code isolated and better protected from intruders, malicious software, and even cloud providers.

The ultimate in cloud flexibility

The latest 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors are built upon years of cloud innovation and are tuned to your customers’ unique needs with built-in AI, Intel Crypto Acceleration, and advanced security capabilities.
Built on open standards and APIs, with fully optimised software and security from hardware up the stack, 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors scale up and out with ease.
You have flexibility to evolve your customers’ infrastructure for changing needs, streamlining cost, and enhancing data governance.
