The Intel Xeon 6 “Birch Stream” server platform supports a significant boost to DDR5 memory bandwidth to provide for the performance requirements of next-generation data centers.
The Intel® Xeon® 6 Processor Platform, code-named “Birch Stream”, is engineered to suit the diverse requirements of next-generation data centers in multiple configurations of 1P, 2P, 4P and 8P with a broad range of processors. Built using Intel 3 lithography, Xeon 6 is available in performance (P-Core) and efficiency (E-Core) classes across four series, providing the precise level of compute power needed for data center architects to design the best fit for their applications.
Targeting the demands of the maximum-performance 1P/2P server segment is the Advanced Platform (AP) and Xeon 6900-series processors. Available with both P- and E-Cores, the 6900-series provides a 12-channel memory architecture supporting up to 6400MT/s DDR5 Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), as well as new high-performance 8800MT/s Multiplexed-Rank DIMMs (MRDIMMs).
The enhanced performance 1P/2P/4P/8P server segment is designed into the Scalable Platform (SP) with the Xeon 6700-series and 6500-series processors. Also available with both P- and E-Cores, the 6700/6500-series features an 8-channel memory architecture supporting up to 6400MT/s DDR5 Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), and 8000MT/s Multiplexed-Rank DIMMs (MRDIMMs).
