New 'Xeon Scalable' processors to push Indian firms go digital: Intel

Mallya said Intel's new portfolio of data centre processors will provide businesses with the richest suite of platform feature innovations that deliver significant performance increases across key workloads.

Intel says that it has already begun rolling out the new hardware to customers, with the likes of Google Cloud, AWS and AT&T having already bagged some of the 500,000 units shipped out ahead of Tuesday's official launch. The company claims a 1.65 times performance boost, on average, compared to the prior generation Broadwell-based server CPUs. Intel took a dig, naturally, and claims that its top-end Xeon Scalable processor delivers 28 per cent faster performance than AMD's Epyc 7601.

"As India Inc increases its investment in technology, the country's data centre and network infrastructure will undergo a massive transformation".
