New 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processor (Codename: Ice Lake-SP) via Irma Esmer Papazian (km)
Collectively, the architectural improvements boost raw integer performance (IPC) by 18% and the speed of various cryptographic algorithms by between 1.5 and 8-times. The Ice Lake SoC also includes a new I/O and memory design with four memory controllers, Intel s Total Memory Encryption (TME) that improves memory bandwidth by 40% or more. Improvements to its Speed Select technology responds faster to changing demands and allows customizing power use and frequencies for each core to better match CPU performance and efficiency for each workload.
That s more than 50 stock models plus an undisclosed number of variants customized for the top-10 hyperscalers eligible for bespoke products built to spec.
