Today Intel has introduced that will probably be holding a launch occasion on April 6th for the brand new imaginative and prescient of its Data Platform Group. This occasion is ready to ‘unveil the next chapter’ in all of the areas that Intel’s DPG touches, from edge to cloud, in addition to providing an early have a look at 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable methods, which we’ve come to know is the Ice Lake Xeon platform. Key audio system on the occasion embrace Intel’s new CEO, Pat Gelsinger.
How Wonderful Gets Done 2021
Subtly dropped in my e mail at this time as a part of the Intel weekly on information middle progress, the corporate have introduced a ‘How Wonderful Gets Done 2021’ occasion constructed upon the Data Platform Group’s progress in addition to the imaginative and prescient for the phase of Intel seeking to the longer term. The key headliner, current in our e mail however not on Intel’s web site, is that the occasion will host an ‘early have a look at 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based methods’. It is unclear if this implies CPUs or simply OEM designs, or if we’ll see benchmarks, however it’s clear that Intel’s OEM companions are virtually able to go based mostly on a number of the revealed information already obtainable.
One of the accompanying movies on the occasion web site is a 10 second montage of issues forming the letter ‘X’, and the phrases ‘what will you solve for’.
The occasion will likely be held on Tuesday April 6th, beginning at 8am PT, with keynotes from new Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, EVP and GM of DPG Navin Shenoy, and CVP and GM of the Xeon and Memory Group, Lisa Spelman.
Sessions for the day will embrace:
- AI, Wei Li, VP and GM of Machine Learning Performance, Design Engineering Group
- IoT, John Healy, VP IOTG, GM Platform Management and Customer Engineering
- 5G Networking, Dan Rodriguez, CVP and GM, Network Platforms Group
- HPC, Trish Damkroger, VP and GM HPC, Data Platfoms Group
- Cloud, Rebecca Weekly, VP and GM, Hyperscale Strategy; Senior Principle Engineer, DPG
Recently it was introduced that Pat Gelsinger will likely be internet hosting an occasion on March 23rd, and in that announcement a picture of an Ice Lake Xeon Scalable wafer was given because the title picture for that announcement, maybe indicating that the discharge of ICL-SP is shut. Intel did say firstly of the 12 months that ICL-SP is anticipated to launch ‘within months’, and plenty of Intel’s companions are already beginning to show methods with applicable processor help.
We additionally discovered just lately that Intel has already shipped 115Okay+ (and extra) Ice Lake Xeon Scalable processors to over 30 of its high-profile clients, regardless that the processors haven’t but been launched. This is typical for a server processor, as these clients additionally assist take a look at, debug, and deploy the {hardware} at scale so it is able to go from day one.
Similarly, in discussions with Intel, it’s clear that the corporate is eager to advertise its mixed answer efforts to the market on the subject of the information middle – Intel’s worth, in response to the corporate, is in its potential to supply the CPU, the networking, the reminiscence, the storage, the AI accelerators, the software program, the optimizations, the vary of choices, and the help construction that its opponents can not. This mixed answer Intel believes affords its clients a greater TCO providing, in addition to higher optimized efficiency particularly now that workloads are hitting quite a lot of bottlenecks resembling storage, connectivity, and acceleration.
We are all arrange for the occasion and will likely be watching alongside. If there are alternatives to ask questions, you wager we’ll.
