Under the sixth generation of processors for Intel servers and data centers, the Xeonthe manufacturer wanted to show us its new bet for this range of CPUs. Intel has launched the new Xeon 6 6900P with high performance coresreferences that only have this type of P-Cores intended for heavy workloads such as HPC, databases or Artificial Intelligence. Although it only has these P-cores, these Intel Xeon 6 Gen have a Low consumption and safety features via hardware.
Intel has achieved improve performance With these Xeons with high-performance cores, according to figures from the manufacturer itself, they obtain Up to 5.5x faster inference performance of Artificial Intelligence and Up to 2.1x HPC performanceif we compare them with AMD EPYC. It also offers a table where you can see the Increase in performance and performance per watt Compared to 5th Gen Intel Xeon, up to 1.9x faster.
In configurations up to 128 coresis formed by 3 tiles manufactured with an Intel 3 processalong with an Input/Output tile manufactured using the Intel 7 process. These Intel Xeon 6 6900P feature support for DDR5 memory up to 6,400 MT/s and 8,800 MT/s MRDIMMs. They offer 6 UPI 2.0 connections for up to 24 GT/s and 96 PCIe 5.0 or CXL 2.0 lanesThey also offer advanced features for matrices (Intel AMX) with support for FP16 or AVX-512.
These new 6th generation Intel Xeon processors with high-performance cores are built to deliver better performance in cloud computingas well as higher performance in vCPU. A total of 5 new references, where the top of the range features 128 cores and speeds reaching the 3.2 GHz all cores or up to 3.9 GHz in Max TURBO. With TDPs of 500 W (except for the 6952P with 400) and cache reaching 504 MB.

| 6972P | 96 | 2.4 GHz | 3.5 GHz | 3.9 GHz | 480 MB | 500W | 12 | 6.400 MT/s | 8.800 MT/s |
| 6952P | 96 | 2.1 GHz | 3.2 GHz | 3.9 GHz | 480 MB | 400W | 12 | 6.400 MT/s | 8.800 MT/s |
| 6960P | 72 | 2.7 GHz | 3.9 GHz | 3.9 GHz | 432 MB | 500W | 12 | 6.400 MT/s | 8.800 MT/s |
In addition to these Intel Xeon 6 Gen 6900P with high-performance cores, it is also planned to launch for the first quarter of next year Other references of the ranges 6700P, 6500P, 6300P and the Intel Xeon 6 SoC. We will also see the Intel Xeon 6900E which only have high efficiency cores or E-Cores.
