Extending Intelligence To The Edge
The Intel® Xeon® processor D family offers new options for infrastructure optimization by bringing the performance and advanced intelligence of Intel® Xeon® processors into a dense, lower-power system-on-a-chip (SoC). The Intel Xeon processor D product family is Intel’s 3rd generation 64-bit SoC and the first based on Intel Xeon processor technology. Based on Intel’s industry-leading 14 nm silicon technology, the Intel® Xeon® processor D-1500 product family is the first offering of a line of processors that will address a broad range of low-power, high-density infrastructure needs. Currently available with 4 and 8 cores—with 12 and 16 core versions coming in the first quarter of 2016—and 128 GB of addressable memory, this SoC has an integrated platform controller hub (PCH), integrated I/O, two integrated 10 Gigabit Intel® Ethernet ports, and a thermal design point (TDP) of 20 watts to 45 watts. It can run the same instruction set as more robust Intel Xeon processors to provide software consistency from the data center to the network edge. It can be deployed for a variety of workloads including network routing, wireless base stations, warm storage, industrial Internet of Thing applications, dynamic web serving, and more.
