“We are excited about the early customer deployments of the Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 series that we introduced as part of our 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor family. Bringing a 56-core processor into our mainline Intel Xeon Scalable processor family in the next generation will further expand our ability to address customer needs for the highest levels of performance in artificial intelligence, high performance computing and high density infrastructure.”
–Lisa Spelman, vice president and general manager of Data Center Marketing, Intel Corporation
The next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor platform (codename Cooper Lake) will deliver twice the processor core count (up to 56 cores), higher memory bandwidth, and higher AI inference and training performance compared to the standard Intel Xeon Platinum 8200 platforms. Cooper Lake will be the first x86 processor to deliver built-in AI training acceleration through new bfloat16 support added to Intel® Deep Learning Boost® (Intel® DL Boost®). Cooper Lake will have platform compatibility with the upcoming 10nm Ice Lake processor.
For more than 20 years, Intel Xeon processors have delivered the platform and performance leadership that gives data center customers the flexibility to pick the right solution for their computing needs. Next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Cooper Lake) build off Intel’s uninterrupted server processor track record by delivering leadership performance for customers’ real-world workloads and business application needs.
