Intel has unveiled its next-generation Xeon 6+ server processors, featuring 288 E-cores and built on the Intel 18A process. These processors are designed to efficiently handle the demands of AI agents, with a single chip capable of running 400-500 agents simultaneously. This shift highlights a growing importance of CPUs in AI infrastructure, moving away from a GPU-exclusive focus, and Intel is complementing this with new Ethernet controllers and a high-memory GPU designed for agentic AI workloads.
