Intel aims advanced Xeon 6+ at AI edge computing

At the Mobile World Conference show in Barcelona, Intel showcased its most advanced processor yet, the Xeon 6+ processor, codenamed “Clearwater Forest.” Technically, it is one of Intel’s most complex chiplet designs, with a package that combines a total of 12 compute chiplets manufactured on a mix of Intel 18A node, Intel 7, and Intel 3 manufacturing processes.


Clearwater Forest supports the existing Xeon server platform socket, 12 memory channels, 96 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and 64 CXL 2.0 lanes. It supports memory up to DDR5-8000.The chip contains 288 E-cores, for Efficiency, with a high-bandwidth on-chip fabric to link two chips in a two-socket design.

One of the primary target markets is cloud providers has dozens if not hundreds of virtual machines can be spun up on a single processor. But also, Intel is targeting network environments through the Radio Access Network (RAN), 5G Core, and edge, while maintaining efficiency, openness, and cost control.
