Intel Launches new Xeon 600 Processors for Workstation with Support for Higher Memory Speeds

On February 3, Intel launched the new Intel Xeon 600 Series workstation processor, delivering significant improvements across multiple aspects compared to the previous generation. These enhancements include a substantial increase in core count, enhanced PCIe connectivity, support for higher memory speeds, and unprecedented energy efficiency.

The new processor is built on the Intel 3 process technology and feature the Redwood Cove+ core architecture. It offers up to 128 PCIe Gen5 lanes and supports up to eight channels of DDR5 RDIMM memory at speeds of up to 6400 MT/s—surpassing 4800 MT/s of the previous generation platform. Additionally, it adds support for DDR5 MRDIMM memory, which can reach speed of up to 8,000 MT/s, delivering a significant boost in performance for memory-intensive workloads.

Sales through OEMs/system integrators and standalone boxed processors will begin in late March 2026.
