Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series

  • Overview
  • Products

Key Features

Reduce the bottlenecks of memory-bound applications to deliver breakthrough performance with:

Up to 56 Performance Cores

Harness the power of up to 56 performance cores constructed of four tiles, which are connected using Intel’s embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) technology in a 350-watt envelope.

64GB of High Bandwidth Memory

Maximize performance with 4 stacks of HBM2e, 64 gigabytes of ultra-high-bandwidth in-package memory and over 1GB of HBM capacity per core.

Cost and Time Savings

Realize cost savings by eliminating DDR and time-consuming code changes for workloads that fit into 64 GB capacity and require 1-2 GB of memory per core.
