While Intel is participating at MWC Barcelona 2025, the company has announced the new Xeon 6 SoC customized for network and edge applications. The Xeon 6 packs more AI acceleration with Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) improving AI RAN performance by up to 3.2x over previous generations without the need of discrete accelerators.
Intel Xeon 6 SoC features eight integrated Ethernet ports and a total throughput of up to 200 gigabits per second (Gbps). Intel Xeon 6 SoC also includes the industry’s first integrated media transcode accelerator, Intel Media Transcode Accelerator, which delivers up to 14.25x performance-per-watt gain for video transcoding, helping video service providers offer near-real-time experiences for live sports, gaming and auctions while significantly reducing power consumption.
The highlights shared by Intel:
Intel Xeon 6 system-on-chip (SoC) with integrated AI delivers up to 2.4x more radio access network (RAN) capacity1 and up to 70% better performance-per-watt2 compared with previous generations.
Integrated AI acceleration boosts AI RAN performance by up to 3.2x over previous generations3.
Deep collaboration with 5G core solution partners accelerates the adoption of Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Efficient-cores (E-cores) across the ecosystem.
Independent validations for 5G core workloads confirm increased rack performance, reduced power consumption and enhanced energy efficiency.
