4.HPE ProLiant Gen 10 Plus Servers are equipped with the latest Intel processors
HPE Gen 10 Plus series is equipped with Intel’s latest Xeon Scalable processor. Let’s take a look at the development history of Intel’s third-generation processors:
| 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
| 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable | 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable | 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable |
| 1-8 Sockets | 4-8 Sockets | 1-8 Sockets |
| Cascade Lake
Purley Platform |
Launching:
Cooper Lake Cedar island platform |
Sapphire Rapids
Eagle Stream Platform |
| Coming later this year:
1-2 Sockets Ice Lake Whitley Platform |
Next Gen DL Boost: AMX
Silicon Powered On |
The performance of Intel’s new-generation Whitley platform will improve 4 features:
- 80 maximum dual-socket processor cores, strong computing performance, will increase performance by 50%.
- 128 dual PCIe 4.0 channels, I/O is efficiently improved, and the bandwidth of a single channel is doubled.
- 8 memory channels with a maximum of 3200MHz, memory bandwidth expansion, 1.6 times the bandwidth increase.
- 12TB maximum memory, large memory capacity, 2.66 times the capacity increase.
We believe that excellent Intel processors will bring excellent performance to HPE servers.
