Intel Infrastructure Power Manager Software delivers an additional 30% or more in power savings.
Barcelona, Spain, February 26, 2024–(Business Wire)–what’s new: To meet network operator demands for energy-efficient expansion, Intel Corporation releases two major updates to drive lower footprint, power, and total cost of ownership (TCO) across 5G core networks. Did. Code-named Sierra Forest, it features up to 288 Efficient Cores (E Cores) and Intel® Infrastructure Power Manager (IPM) software for 5G cores is available commercially.
“As 5G core networks continue to be built out, communications service providers need improved infrastructure efficiencies.The majority of 5G core networks are currently deployed on Intel With the introduction of new efficiency cores to our roadmap, Intel is uniquely positioned to address these challenges.”And with the commercial deployment of Intel Infrastructure Power Manager software, Service providers can reduce TCO while achieving unparalleled performance and power savings across their networks. ”
–Alex Quach, Intel Vice President and General Manager, Wired and Core Networks
Why it’s important: Reducing energy consumption and infrastructure footprint remain the biggest challenges network operators face when building wireless 5G core networks.
How to use: The Intel Xeon processor roadmap announced this fall at Intel Innovation has expanded to include E Core processors. E-Core provides network operators with a processor optimized for energy and TCO savings. Launching later this year, Intel Xeon next-generation processors (codenamed Sierra Forest) will offer up to 288 cores, allowing operators to see 2.7x more performance per rack.1 Improved – Industry-leading performance per rack for 5G core workloads2.
The new processors enable network operators to increase performance per rack, virtual CPUs (vCPUs), and performance per watt without making significant changes to application software. Intel is working closely with carriers and 5G core software suppliers to deploy new processors and Intel Infrastructure Power Manager software.
About CPU innovation: Intel Xeon processors are industry-proven and the most widely deployed server CPUs. Supported by a broad ecosystem of innovative partners, Intel’s technology advances and collaborations with E-Core help deliver proven power savings for a more sustainable future.
