➂ Zhaoxin highlights its KaiXian KX-7000/8 consumer processor and Kaisheng KH-40000/32 server processor for AI performance.

➀ The Intel Xeon 6700P and 6500P Granite Rapids-SP processors are introduced, with the 6700P R1S being highlighted for its single-socket capabilities with 136 PCIe Gen5 lanes.

➁ The processors offer 8-channel DDR5 support and access to onboard accelerators like QAT.

➂ The review compares the Intel offering with AMD's EPYC 9000 series, noting Intel's advantage in PCIe Gen5 lanes and memory bandwidth.

➀ The new Intel Xeon 6 SoC, codenamed Granite Rapids-D, is expected to have up to 72 cores by late 2025;

➁ The initial batch will have up to 42 cores, with networking speeds of up to 200Gbps;

➂ The new series includes vRAN Boost and various built-in accelerators, targeting embedded markets.

➀ Intel has launched the Xeon 6300 series for entry-level servers, with up to 8 cores and performance claims up to 1.3x that of the Xeon E-2400 series.

➁ The new processors support DDR5-4800 ECC memory and have a turbo clock of 5.7GHz.

➂ Concerns are raised about Intel's focus on the entry-level Xeon space, with AMD's 16-core Zen 4 EPYC 4004 series offering a significant challenge.

➀ Lenovo has quietly started launching an unreleased product from Intel, the Intel Xeon E 6300 series.

➁ These processors are not to be confused with the Intel Xeon Gold 6300 series products from the Ice Lake Xeon (3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable) as Lenovo is advertising these new processors in the same platforms as the Intel Xeon E-2400 series.

➂ The update has been seen on the Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V3, ST50 V3, and SR250 V3 servers.

➀ Intel's data center CPU sales reached a 13-year low in 2024 due to increased competition from AMD, the transition to higher-core count models, and a market shift to AI servers.

➁ Unit sales of Intel's data center CPUs dropped by 20% from 2011 levels and over 80% from 2021.

➂ Intel's data center average selling prices increased, but it is unclear if the company can regain market share in the AI accelerator market.
