Intel Launches Xeon 6P and Gaudi 3, Aims to Reclaim Data Center Market Share

Intel's new Xeon 6900P series matches AMD's core counts for the first time since 2017, while Gaudi 3 targets AI workloads.

Intel's Xeon 6900P 'Granite Rapids' series features up to 128 performance cores, matching AMD’s EPYC core counts.
The new Xeon 6P processors promise up to 2.1x the performance of AMD’s 96-core Genoa in HPC workloads and up to 5.5x in AI inferencing tasks.
Intel's Gaudi 3 AI accelerators are designed to compete with Nvidia and AMD, focusing on inference processing for large language models.
The Granite Rapids architecture includes support for 12 memory channels and new MRDIMM technology, significantly boosting memory bandwidth.
Intel's full-stack approach to AI includes new server designs and the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEI) to facilitate enterprise adoption.
