Intel is working closely with industry representatives including Cisco, Ericsson, SK Telecom and Verizon to accelerate the move toward more flexible and responsive networks today and to lay the foundation for future 5G networks
The company has unveiled new offerings in its processor family designed provide a foundation for extending intelligence from the network core to the edge for improved performance and lower latency.
The nine new processors offer high performance, low power and twice the maximum memory of previous generations in an integrated System-on-a-Chip, making them well suited for various networking, cloud storage, enterprise storage and IoT applications that operate in dense, rugged environments.
The company's new multi-host controller meanwhile combines Ethernet technology with advanced switch resources for use in high performance communications network applications and dense server platforms.
With up to 200Gbps of high-bandwidth multi-host connectivity and multiple 100GbE ports, it delivers exceptional packet processing capability and significantly reduces performance bottlenecks in moving network traffic within and between servers.
Intel has also unveiled a new Ethernet controller family designed as a a low-power 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity solution that can offer a performance boost to data center servers and network appliances.
