Intel has announced a new processor today, the Xeon D-2100. The D-2100 is a low power SoC with a range of 4 to 18 cores, integrated PCH, up to 4 10Gb Ethernet ports, and a TDP of 60-110 watts. The new processor features a significant performance increase over the D-1500.



There sure is a lot of “Edge” in this announcement. Seriously, the word “edge” is used 30 times in this announcement, and 40 times in the product brief. Too bad it’s a SoC so most of us will never play with one, because this could be the edgiest processor ever.

Industries and customers use the edge differently
The Intel Xeon Scalable processor delivers the ultimate performance to support the largest variety of high-demand applications and services, from the data center core to the edge. As the needs of the edge become more complex and varied, some services and applications will require a different balance of performance, power consumption, and size.
