Jeni Panhorst, Vice President and General Manager for the Network and Edge Platforms Division at Intel, joins Chip Chat to update on Intel's hardware and software infrastructure for the enablement of edge services.

Panhorst has responsibility for all of Intel's products and platforms for network and network edge infrastructure, partnering deeply with customers to deliver the capabilities that will define the network of tomorrow. In this interview, Panhorst and host Allyson Klein highlight key technologies advancing the development of edge services, beginning with Intel Atom® P5900, a new 10nm System on a Chip (SoC) for 5G radio access networks (RAN). As Panhorst shares, 2020 is expected to see significant growth in 5G deployments. This new SoC delivers on customers' needs for high performance for packet processing and base station workloads and integrates seamlessly with other Intel network infrastructure products for end-to-end network solutions.

Panhorst also speaks to up-the-stack Intel software investments that make it easier to more rapidly develop and deploy differentiated edge services and applications. Panhorst highlights OpenNESS, Open Network Edge Services Software, an open source reference toolkit that serves as an "easy button" for deploying innovative edge services, and CERA, the Converged Edge Reference Architecture, which brings together OpenNESS and OpenVINO™ toolkit to accelerate development.

Dan Rodriguez, Corporate Vice President and General Manager for the Network Platforms group at Intel, joins Chip Chat to update on Intel's strategy and solutions for transforming network infrastructure for 5G.

In this interview, Rodriguez and host Allyson Klein dig in to Intel's announcements from February 24th, 2020, which expanded Intel's unmatched portfolio of solutions for network infrastructure. Rodriguez highlights updated 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, the critical component fueling network transformation and the delivery of new services. The latest 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver 36% more performance and 42% more performance per dollar compared to the prior generation [1].

Rodriguez also shares excitement over Intel Atom® P5900, a new 10nm System on a Chip (SoC) with the right mix of compute cores, connectivity, and acceleration to power 5G radio access network base stations well into the future. Intel Atom P5900 is already seeing significant interest from the industry and end customers and is expected to help Intel achieve a leading 40% market segment share for base station silicon by 2021, one year earlier than previously forecast.

Finally, Rodriguez discusses two new complementary technologies: Intel structured ASIC codenamed "Diamond Mesa" and Intel Ethernet 700 Series Network Adapter XXV710-DA2T with Hardware-Enhanced Precision Time Protocol. Less complex than a true ASIC and less expensive and more power efficient than an FPGA, Diamond Mesa targets 50% more performance or 50% better power efficiency versus the previous generation. The new Intel Ethernet 700 Series is Intel's first 5G-optimized network adapter and enables accurate time synchronization across the network without the added complexity and expense of specialty timing hardware for 5G, industrial, and financial applications.
