(PR) New Intel Xeon 6 CPUs to Maximize GPU-Accelerated AI Performance

Intel today unveiled three new additions to its Intel Xeon 6 series of central processing units (CPUs), designed specifically to manage the most advanced graphics processing unit (GPU)-powered AI systems. These new processors with Performance-cores (P-cores) include Intel's innovative Priority Core Turbo (PCT) technology and Intel Speed Select Technology - Turbo Frequency (Intel SST-TF), delivering customizable CPU core frequencies to boost GPU performance across demanding AI workloads. The new Xeon 6 processors are available today, with one of the three currently serving as the host CPU for the NVIDIA DGX B300, the company's latest generation of AI-accelerated systems. The NVIDIA DGX B300 integrates the Intel Xeon 6776P processor, which plays a vital role in managing, orchestrating and supporting the AI-accelerated system. With robust memory capacity and bandwidth, the Xeon 6776P supports the growing needs of AI models and datasets.

"These new Xeon SKUs demonstrate the unmatched performance of Intel Xeon 6, making it the ideal CPU for next-gen GPU-accelerated AI systems," said Karin Eibschitz Segal, corporate vice president and interim general manager of the Data Center Group at Intel. "We're thrilled to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver one of the industry's highest-performing AI systems, helping accelerate AI adoption across industries."
