Intel Xeon Gold 6348 Processor (2.6 GHz)

The Intel Xeon Gold 6348 is a high-performance processor designed for use in servers, workstations, and other high-end computing environments. It operates at a base clock speed of 2.6GHz and features 42MB of cache, which helps improve performance by reducing the time it takes for the processor to access frequently used data. This processor supports Intel® Optane™ Memory, a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology that enhances system performance and responsiveness by acting as a bridge between system memory and storage. When paired with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver, it can manage multiple storage devices and present them as a single virtual drive to the operating system, ensuring that frequently accessed data is stored on the fastest available tier.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6348 also includes Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which dynamically increases the processor's frequency when thermal and power conditions allow, providing bursts of speed when needed while maintaining energy efficiency during less demanding tasks. Additionally, it supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, which allows each physical core to handle two processing threads simultaneously, improving performance in highly threaded applications. This processor also includes Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), which enables a single hardware platform to function as multiple virtual platforms, improving manageability and reducing downtime by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) extends support for virtualization by adding new capabilities for I/O device virtualization, improving security and reliability in virtualized environments. The processor also supports Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), which helps reduce memory and power overhead in virtualized environments by optimizing page table management through hardware. The Intel® 64 architecture allows the processor to deliver 64-bit computing capabilities on a variety of platforms when combined with appropriate software support.

The instruction set of this processor includes various extensions such as SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions), which enhance performance for applications that process multiple data objects simultaneously. It also features up to two AVX-512 FMA units, providing ultra-wide (512-bit) vector operations for improved performance in demanding computational tasks. Intel® Speed Shift Technology allows the processor to quickly adjust its operating frequency and voltage for optimal performance and power efficiency in single-threaded workloads.

Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost) includes new technologies designed to accelerate AI deep learning use cases by extending Intel AVX-512 with Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI). This significantly improves deep learning inference performance compared to previous generations. Intel® Resource Director Technology (Intel® RDT) provides visibility and control over shared resources such as last-level cache (LLC) and memory bandwidth, allowing for more efficient resource allocation. Finally, Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD) offers a robust method for managing NVMe-based solid state drives through hot plug and LED management.
