Intel® Xeon® 6 Processors for Network and Edge
Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with E-cores deliver incredible performance for networking and edge. Integrated acceleration increases packet throughput, while built in technologies protect in-flight data.
“We are planning to adopt the Intel Xeon 6 processor with E-cores for use with Ericsson’s Cloud Infrastructure and Ericsson’s dual-mode 5G Core applications. Our testing resulted in a 3.2x improvement in performance and over 60% reduction in CPU energy consumption compared to the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, which most of our customers have deployed in their core networks."
-Monica Zethzon, Ericsson, Head of Solution Area Core Networks

Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families.
A. The frequency of cores and core types varies by workload, power consumption, and other factors. Visit https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/how-intel-technologies-boost-cpu-performance.html for more information.
B. Supports Intel® Speed Select Technology Performance Profile (Intel® SST-PP)
C. Intel does not commit or guarantee product availability or software support by way of road map guidance. Intel reserves the right to change road maps or discontinue products, software, and software support services through standard EOL/PDN processes.
