Intel Xeon 6700P and 6500P 1S & 2S SKUs Released - All On-Board Accelerators Enabled

ServeTheHome Article

As above Intel has a released some lower core count SKUs which are not socket compatible with the Xeon 6900P series. Some parts, especially the lower core count SKUs seem to be quite price competitive - even in HEDT territory. With the inclusion of AMX, AVX-512 and 8 memory channels per socket these processors may prove useful for AI inference and training.

For the single socket socket SKUs, some UPI links have been repurposed as board PCIe 5.0 lanes allowing for a total of 133 PCIe 5.0 lanes.

All on-board accelerators have been enabled including QAT and AMX. All P-core SKUs are AVX-512 enabled.

Now to find some affordable E-ATX workstation boards…

  • AMX is useful with LLMs like Deepseek

    • I can't find the exact figure, but the speedup for inference compared with using AVX2 is significant.
