IoT SKUs will feature long-life availability for customers with extended procurement or certification cycles3. AI architects can test-drive the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit on 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors using Intel® DevCloud for the Edge.
Pervasive performance with built-in AI acceleration
The 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor is built for AI acceleration. Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost) (VNNI) drives exceptional inference for AI in flexible configurations.
Foundational flexibility, agility, and efficiency
Meet evolving business and budget goals with greater control and configuration flexibility. Intel® Speed Select Technology (Intel® SST) helps improve performance and optimize total cost of ownership by providing more control over CPU performance. Intel® Resource Director Technology (Intel® RDT) enables monitoring and control of shared resources to enable better quality of service
Advanced security technologies
Reduce your attack surface, help prevent memory snooping, and deliver confidence in edge server deployments with robust security technologies. Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)4 helps to protect sensitive data in trusted enclaves, and Intel® Total Memory Encryption (Intel® TME)4, that enables full physical memory encryption.
A next-generation processor for next-generation projects
Enhanced expandability allows for the attachment of more peripherals to optimize the total cost of ownership. Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express Gen4 speeds double the bandwidth over previous gen. Leverage breakthrough system memory & storage with the new Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory5 200 Series and Intel Optane SSD support.

What you can do with Ice Lake SP
Computer vision
Valuable in a wide range of environments, computer vision systems can recognize objects and people quickly, inspect manufactured products, and much more.
Retail
Performance gains enable greater workload convergence and the ability to host more virtualized desktops on single or fewer back-end servers, for example, in applications such as virtual desktop infostructure (VDI), or Intelligent Desktop Virtualization (IDV).
Healthcare
Hospitals are using data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to augment clinical workflows and healthcare provider diagnoses with enhanced analysis, automation, and performance.
Industrial
Use machine vision and deep learning inference for assembly verification, defect detection, and quality inspection.
Public sector
Create trusted solutions by utilizing hardware-assisted features such as Intel® Total Memory Encryption (Intel® TME) and Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)5 help prevent memory tampering and help meet antitampering requirements.
