These processors offer up to 1.4 times better performance compared to the previous generation. Intel claims that this improvement enables a wide range of use cases, including enterprise applications.

Additionally, Intel states that the Xeon 6 is the foundational CPU for AI systems and pairs exceptionally well with GPUs, serving as the host node CPU. The company has also directly compared its performance to AMD EPYC processors, claiming that Xeon 6 delivers up to 1.5 times better performance in AI inference on-chip while using one-third fewer cores.

Overall, due to its efficiency, the Xeon 6 results in a 68% reduction in total cost of ownership.

The Intel Xeon 6 Network and Edge processor uses Intel's built-in accelerators for virtualised radio access networks. These built-in accelerators support virtualised radio access networks, media AI, and network security, addressing the growing demand for network and edge solutions.

Intel claims that the Xeon 6 SoCs deliver up to 2.4 times the RAN capacity and a 70% improvement in performance per watt compared to the previous generation. This is largely attributed to Intel's vRAN Boost technology.

In addition, Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores also deliver compute to support small to midsize generative
