3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and Windows Server 2022 enable businesses to run critical workloads while offering increased security with unmatched performance for the best digital experience for hybrid work.

Performance made flexible: Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors boost performance and efficiency with the need for additional CPU cores or dedicated hardware.  

Flexible infrastructure is essential for businesses. Many decision-makers must ensure their infrastructure meets the current and future workload demands. Therefore, they must plan to have a system optimised for a multi-cloud environment, 5-G ready network and next-generation virtual networks.

3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors offer a balanced architecture with built-in acceleration and advanced security capabilities, designed through decades of innovation for the most in-demand workload requirements.

Strong, capable platforms for the data-fuelled enterprise

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.

The 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors are infused with Intel Crypto Acceleration, enhancing data protection and privacy by increasing encryption-intensive workload performance while reducing pervasive encryption's performance impact.

It’s the only data centre CPU with built-in AI acceleration, end-to-end data science tools, and an ecosystem of intelligent solutions.

It’s also engineered for the demands of cloud workloads and to fuel a wide range of XaaS environments. Fueled by Intel SGX, which protects data and application code while in use from the edge to the data centre and multi-tenant public cloud.

Overview of the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors

Intel Xeon Gold

With support for higher memory speeds, enhanced memory capacity, and up to four-socket scalability, Intel Xeon Gold 6300 and 5300 processors deliver improved performance, enhanced memory capabilities, hardware-enhanced security, and workload acceleration.

These processors are optimised for demanding mainstream data centres, multi-cloud computing, and network and storage workloads. With up to four-socket scalability, they are suitable for an expanded range of workloads.

Intel Xeon Silver

Intel Xeon Silver 4300 processors deliver essential performance, improved memory speed, and power efficiency. They offer a hardware-enhanced performance required for entry data centre computing, network, and storage.

Invest your business’s success with Windows Server

With the support of Intel Xeon scalable processors, Windows Server 2022 can support enterprise-level management, data storage, applications and communication. Windows Server is the platform for building an infrastructure of connected applications, networks, and web services. It has been the foundation of Microsoft’s ecosystem and continues to power the hybrid cloud network today.

With the Windows Server 2022, Microsoft has been consistently updating their server operating system, which includes applying multi-layer protection against threats, improving performance, and offering a wide range of hybrid cloud options.

Get the most out of Windows Server 2022

Advanced multilayer security
