Mobile Packet Core Performance Increases on 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

This white paper shows 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors offer around 25% more performance than predecessor generation processors without any additional platform tuning. The Intel reference board exhibited deterministic performance for 4G and 5G pipelines, even load distribution, and consistent throughput and latency. These results further verify the competitiveness and capability of running packet core workloads in software on Intel architecture without any hardware acceleration and associated orchestration.
