Intel is focusing on 5G and next-generation CPUs at MWC February 28, 2022by Martin 6 This week, at the MWC 2022 conference in Barcelona, Spain, Intel announced several key developments for 5G network infrastructure, including new CPUs. The company also detailed new features of its next-generation CPUs, which include vRAN acceleration. For the past decade, Intel has been on a mission to make the network programmable. In this paradigm, called software-defined networking (SDN) or sometimes network cloudiness, conventional functional hardware is replaced with off-the-shelf CPUs and an open software stack. This trend has increased with the transition to 5G , and Intel is targeting all segments, from the core of the network to the base stations.
New Xeon D build SDN and edge Intel has launched its C Level Executive List latest Xeon D edge processor based on the Ice Lake architecture, which it claims was designed from the ground up for SDN and the edge. The CPU supports integrated crypto and AI acceleration, has built-in ethernet, supports time-synchronized computing and time-sensitive networking, as well as industrial-grade reliability. Overall, Intel claimed a 1.5x to 2.4x improvement in Ice Lake D performance across various workloads. As an advanced processor, Intel says it excels in security appliances, enterprise routers and switches, cloud storage, wireless networking and AI inference. Intel claims that more than 70 companies are working on designs. OpenVINO AI summary update Intel further announced what it says is the biggest update in three years to its OpenVINO framework for edge AI inference.
Release 2022.1 focuses on three main features. First, a simplified API for importing TensorFlow models to improve time to market. Second, greater coverage of models and use cases, including vision and natural language processing, to improve performance. Third, an automatic "advanced" optimization capability that discovers available accelerators to perform dynamic load balancing. This makes the software largely hardware-agnostic. Intel further announced new modules for its Smart Edge software targeting 5G user-plane workloads. Sapphire Rapids Optimization Radio Access Network (RAN) virtualization is also called vRAN, and Intel claims that most of these commercial deployments are based on Intel servers.
