Leading Providers Choose Intel’s 10nm Base
Station SoC; New 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Platforms in Market
Now from Industry Leaders
Unlocking the full potential of 5G requires transforming network
infrastructure from core to edge. As the world’s leading network
silicon provider, Intel is at the forefront of driving this
transformation. Today, the company made a sweeping set of hardware
and software announcements, including the launch of the new Intel®
Atom™ P5900, a 10nm system-on-a-chip (SoC) for wireless base
stations, which is a critical early deployment target for 5G
networks.

“As the industry makes the transition to 5G, we continue to see
network infrastructure as the most significant opportunity,
representing a $25 billion silicon opportunity by 2023,” said Navin
Shenoy, executive vice president and general manager, Data
Platforms Group at Intel. “By offering customers the fastest and
most effective path to design, deliver and deploy 5G solutions
across core, edge and access, we are poised to expand our leading
silicon position in this growing market.”
Unmatched Portfolio for 5G Infrastructure
As the promise of 5G takes hold, customers are demanding the
increased performance and flexibility they need to rapidly deliver
services with lower latency where they are needed most. In this
light, Intel announced a number of firsts today, including:
- Launching the Intel Atom P5900 platform, the first Intel
architecture-based 10nm SoC for wireless base stations: With
the launch of the Intel Atom P5900, the company is extending Intel
architecture from the core to access and all the way to the
farthest edge of the network. Intel now expects to be the leading
silicon provider in base stations by 2021, a year earlier than
first predicted. As a highly integrated 10nm SoC, the Intel Atom
P5900 is designed to meet critical 5G network needs, including high
bandwidth and low latency to deliver what’s required for 5G base
stations today and in the future. The product augments Intel’s rich
silicon portfolio for network environments and introduces Intel
silicon as the foundation for the wireless base stations market,
with 6 million 5G base stations forecasted through 2024. Intel is
working with leading providers to deliver this product as part of
their future-differentiated solutions in market.
- New 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors: As the
foundation for data platform infrastructure with over 30 million
units sold, Intel Xeon Scalable processors have led the
transformation of the network. This year, 50% of core network
deployments are transforming to virtualized networks, with the
expectation to grow beyond 80% by 2024i, fueled by 5G. The new 2nd
Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors launched today deliver an
average of 36% more performance and an average of 42% more
performance per dollarii than the prior generation Intel® Xeon®
Gold and increased value for customers across their cloud, network
and edge needs. In addition, Intel Xeon Scalable helps protect the
integrity of the data and the platform with hardware-enhanced
security and built-in encryption accelerators. In conjunction,
Intel introduced 18 updated Select Solutions supporting these new
processors across customer-prioritized workloads.
- Introducing Diamond Mesa, Intel’s first next-generation
structured ASIC for 5G network acceleration: Diamond Mesa
(codename) is designed to complement Intel’s unmatched portfolio of
processors and FPGAs delivering the high performance and low
latency required for 5G networks. Structured ASICs like Diamond
Mesa provide a minimum-risk optimization path for workloads that do
not require the full programmability of FPGAs, targeting double the
performance efficiency versus the prior generation, and uniquely
position Intel as the only provider delivering a full silicon
platform foundation for network infrastructure. Diamond Mesa is
open to early access customers.
- Introducing the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series Network Adapter
with Hardware-Enhanced Precision Time Protocol, the first 5G
network-optimized Ethernet NIC: The Ethernet 700 series
(codenamed “Edgewater Channel”) is Intel’s first 5G-optimized
network adapter, offering GPS-based cross-network service
synchronization with Hardware-Enhanced Precision Time Protocol
(PTP). Latency requirements across 5G network implementations have
challenged existing Ethernet technology, especially in edge
servers. Maintaining accurate time synchronization across the
network at a cost-effective price point, however, is one avenue to
help address application latency. The Ethernet 700 series adapter
increases the timing precision required for 5G networks through a
combination of hardware and software enhancements. Edgewater
Channel is sampling now and will enter production in Q2‘20.
New Software Investments
Intel expands its industry-leading edge computing software
toolkits to accelerate time-to-market innovation for its customers
and partners with new capabilities integrated into the Open Network
Edge Services Software (OpenNESS) toolkit. OpenNESS now supports
standalone 5GNR and Enhanced Platform Awareness (EPA) deployments,
giving customers the flexibility to easily deploy their choice of
cloud-native edge microservices. Intel is delivering customized
OpenNESS experience kits to accelerate custom 5G deployments.
OpenNESS complements Intel’s OpenVINO™ and Open Visual Cloud for
edge computing development needs.
Unrivaled Ecosystem Collaborations
Technology innovation requires deep collaboration across
industry innovators that build on each other’s contributions. Given
its rich heritage in leading technology transitions, Intel is in a
unique position to accelerate collaboration across its customers
and partners. Intel has announced strategic collaborations with
industry leaders, including Altiostar, Dell, Deutsche Telecom, HPE,
Lenovo, QCT, Rakuten, VMware, and ZTE, to advance network
infrastructure capability and speed edge solutions in the
market.
Intel has been at the forefront of technology innovation for 51
years. By delivering the broadest silicon portfolio for 5G network
infrastructure, the company continues to open a world of
opportunity for its customers and partners.
More information on all of these announcements, including visual
assets, is available at the 5G Network Portfolio Launch press kit
on the Intel Newsroom.
