What Intel® Xeon Processors Support for Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX)?

Environment

4th and 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and Intel® Xeon® 6

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Summary

Support information of Intel® TDX on Intel® Processors.

Description

What is Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX)?

Intel® TDX is the newest confidential computing technology that helps to strategically narrow the attack surface and increase data and application protection and confidentiality in the data center or in the cloud through hardware-level isolation within a virtual machine (VM).

VM isolation with Intel® TDX simplifies the porting and migration of existing applications to a confidential computing environment. 
In most cases, no application code changes are required to activate a trusted domain enabled by Intel® TDX inside a VM.

How can we identify if the 5th Gen Intel® Xeon Scalable and Intel® Xeon® 6 processors support Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX)?

Resolution

Intel® TDX is planned for general market availability on 5th Gen Intel® Xeon Scalable and Intel® Xeon® 6 processors.

Select cloud service providers provided custom SKUs of 4th Gen Intel® Xeon Scalable processors enabled with Intel® TDX to support early availability programs, but those SKUs are not generally available in the market.
