en.Wedoany.com Reported - Intel expanded its server and Ethernet network product portfolio at the Computex exhibition in Taipei, officially launching the Intel Ethernet E835 controller and network adapter as part of its 800 Series Ethernet product line.

This product series targets data centers, enterprises, artificial intelligence, edge, and telecom infrastructure application scenarios, including telecom mobile core networks and fixed wireless access, covering speeds from 10 Gigabit Ethernet to 200 GbE, supporting port configurations such as 2x25 GbE, 4x25 GbE, 2x100 GbE, and 1x200 GbE. Users can verify initial settings using the Ethernet port configuration tool and reconfigure the number of ports and speeds as needs change to adapt to evolving workloads.

Tim Wilson, Intel Vice President and General Manager of Data Silicon Engineering, stated that the E835 is designed to improve per-core bandwidth for high-core-count platforms such as the Xeon 6+ series, and is applicable to the full range of controllers, as well as Open Compute Project (OCP) NIC 3.0 and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) network adapters. The product is currently undergoing certification through major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners and is expected to be available through OEM networks later this year.

At Computex, Intel also positioned its recently released Xeon 6+ series as suitable for heavy edge AI inference. Brian Niepoky, Senior Director of Intel's Ethernet product line, noted that the combination of the E835 and Xeon 6+ meets the performance, efficiency, and flexibility requirements of typical enterprise cloud and edge workloads. Wilson added that when running at full 200 GbE bidirectional line rate, the E835 consumes 47% less power than comparable products from Nvidia and 28% less than Broadcom. Wilson did not specify the exact products but speculated that the former refers to the ConnectX series and the latter to the Nextreme/Thor series. Wilson claimed that under full load, the E835 delivers 1.9 times better performance per watt than Nvidia and 1.4 times better than Broadcom. Niepoky emphasized that although competitors offer 800 GbE capabilities, Intel focuses more on overall performance, particularly security features. He also introduced that the E835 offers an extended temperature range queue (junction temperature from -20°C to 105°C) and highlighted that its combination of 200 GbE speeds with broad operating system support from major OEMs meets market performance expectations.

During the same period, Intel also launched a new 12-core option for the Intel Xeon 6300 processor family, targeting entry-level servers and raising the platform's core ceiling above 8 cores for the first time. With plug-and-play compatibility, this product aims to provide computing power and flexibility for growing small and medium business (SMB) workloads without requiring a platform change.
