Intel (INTC) said Monday it has launched its Xeon 6 processors, which feature advancements for data center and networking portfolios.

The Xeon 6700/6500 series processor delivers an average of 1.4 times better performance than the previous generation, while Intel Xeon 6 for network and edge delivered a 70% improvement in performance-per-watt compared with previous generations, the company said.

Intel said the new processors offered higher performance in AI processing, such as in traditional machine learning, smaller generative AI models and graphics-processing-unit-accelerated workload in a host CPU capacity.

A unified Xeon platform can also help telecommunications firms in technologies such as network slicing, AI-powered radio controllers and cloud-native architectures, Intel said.
