MWC 2025: Intel Showcases Foundational Network Infrastructure with Xeon 6
Intel unveils silicon innovation to drive AI-powered next-generation networks. NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Intel® Xeon® 6 system-on-chip (SoC) with integrated AI delivers up to 2.4x more radio access network (RAN) capacity1 and up to 70% better performance-per-watt2 compared with previous generations. Integrated AI acceleration boosts AI RAN performance by up to 3.2x over previous generations3. Deep collaboration with 5G core solution partners accelerates the adoption of Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Efficient-cores (E-cores) across the ecosystem. Independent validations for 5G core workloads confirm increased rack performance, reduced power consumption and enhanced energy efficiency. BARCELONA, Spain, March 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The telecommunications industry is undergoing a major transformation as AI and 5G technologies reshape networks and connectivity. While operators are eager to modernize infrastructure, challenges remain, such as high capital expenditures, security concerns and integration with legacy systems. At MWC 2025, Intel – alongside more than 50 partners and customers – will showcase groundbreaking solutions that deliver high capacity and high efficiency performance with built-in AI integration, eliminating the need for costly additional hardware and delivering optimized total cost of ownership (TCO). "By leveraging cloud technologies and fostering close collaborations with partners, we are helping operators virtualize both 5G core and radio access networks – proving that the most demanding, mission-critical workloads can run efficiently on general-purpose silicon," said Sachin Katti, senior vice president and general manager of the Network and Edge Group at Intel Corporation. "Through our Xeon 6 processors, we are enabling the future of AI-powered network modernization." Network Transformation and AI Acceleration Nearly every commercial virtual radio access network deployment runs on Intel Xeon, and now the new Xeon 6 SoC, purpose-built for network and edge applications, is setting a new benchmark for performance-per-watt. By integrating AI acceleration with Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX), the SoC boosts AI RAN performance by up to 3.2x over previous generations4 and redefines performance without the need for discrete accelerators. Moreover, with eight integrated Ethernet ports and a total throughput of up to 200 gigabits per second (Gbps), the Intel Xeon 6 SoC provides robust connectivity. More: Intel at MWC 2025 (Press Kit) | Intel Xeon 6 Processors (Press Kit) This combination of optimized architecture and capacity gain means operators can dramatically reduce their server footprint, allowing them to deploy more capacity with fewer servers by enabling consolidation of multi-server open vRAN sites to a single-server footprint delivering optimized TCO. The Intel Xeon 6 SoC also includes the industry's first integrated media transcode accelerator, Intel® Media Transcode Accelerator, which delivers up to 14.25x performance-per-watt gain for video transcoding5, helping video service providers offer near-real-time experiences for live sports, gaming and auctions while significantly reducing power consumption. Comprehensive Security for Modern Networks As data generation surges at the network edge, security remains a critical focus. Intel Xeon 6 SoC addresses this with its leading-edge security features that enable more secure, zero-trust connections across the edge-to-cloud ecosystem. The Impact of Intel's Ecosystem with Partners and Customers Intel is driving the next wave of vRAN and open RAN innovation, with significant enthusiasm from leading telecom operators: Vodafone's first OpenRAN deployments are demonstrating the competitiveness of networks built on Intel Xeon versus advanced legacy radio access networks (RAN). AT&T is teaming up with Ericsson and Intel to build the world's most open, programmable and reliable RAN network6. This year, AT&T will begin using Intel's Xeon 6 SoC, a high-capacity, programmable virtual RAN hardware platform, to enable ongoing AI advancements through seamless software updates. Samsung leverages Xeon 6 to enhance performance and energy efficiency, accelerating AI integration across RAN and supporting its TCO and AI objectives. Verizon has over 40% of its nationwide 5G RAN footprint virtualized, in addition to its entire 5G core and edge. Verizon is developing the next-gen high-compute-density vRAN server, based on Intel Xeon 6, to double RAN compute capacity and enable greater energy efficiency and multitenancy, and a lower TCO. Ericsson is industrializing Open RAN and AI RAN innovations with Xeon 6 SoC and has achieved its first Cloud RAN call on Xeon 6, powered by Dell servers. Operators including Rakuten Mobile, Reliance Jio, SK Telecom and TELUS are advancing 5G adoption and transforming network infrastructure using Intel Xeon processors for smarter, more flexible and energy-efficient networks. Driving a More Sustainable Future with Intel Xeon 6 Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with E-cores, launched in 2024, are experiencing widespread adoption among 5G core solution vendors and telecom operators. The addition of Intel® Infrastructure Power Manager (IPM) software enhances energy efficiency and accelerates time-to-market for customers seeking to optimize infrastructure, reduce energy consumption and minimize hardware footprints while maintaining performance. Partners are actively adopting Xeon 6-based solutions, helping optimize energy efficiency while delivering industry-leading performance. Partner sustainability success stories include: Ericsson's software optimizations have produced a 3.8x improvement in performance-per-watt7 versus current CoSPs' deployed configurations. Nokia has leveraged Intel Xeon 6 processors to deliver a 60% reduction in run-time power consumption for its 5G Packet Core solution8. Samsung's next-generation Cloud Native Core, expected in the second quarter of 2025, will feature Intel Xeon 6 processors with E-cores to achieve 3.2x better performance and density9. Advancements in Ethernet for Modern Networks Intel recently introduced two new families of discrete Ethernet controllers and network adapters: the E830 and E610 product lines.
