12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor: Upgrade Your Stream Machine

Streaming games can be one of the most demanding tasks you put your computer through and when you’re running the latest triple-A titles, it can take a toll on your machine’s performance. Well, Intel aims to put that issue in the past with the latest generation of their Core processors. For the first time, the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors feature a hybrid performance architecture that splits the workload between P-cores and E-cores.

Heavy-duty tasks such as running resource-intensive games will be offloaded to the P-cores, while background tasks (i.e. encoding and recording your stream) will only be done on the E-cores. This means that your processor won’t be bogged down by multiple tasks, giving you and your viewers the best streaming experience possible. With games getting more demanding each year, the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor ensures that you can stay on top of your game worry-free.

No tweaking is required – the processor does all this right out of the box thanks to Intel® Thread Director and Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. The former predicts and distributes workloads to the different cores dynamically, while the latter recognizes when your computer needs a boost and directs the most critical workloads to your fastest P-cores.

In addition to aiding with live streaming, you’ll notice speed improvements when it comes to rendering video footage as well. You’ll be able to notice a significant increase in speed when it comes to cutting up your footage for VODs or highlight videos. Spend less time compiling videos and more time gaming!

With support for next-generation technology like PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 RAM, your computer will remain competitive even when the time comes to replace parts of your setup in the future.

If you’re looking to take your streaming machine to the next level, the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor might be the one for you. Find out more on Intel’s official website.

Intel-powered HPCs propel SGI to success

SGI’s Intel-powered HPCs sold to Down Under Geo to aid in gains in the rate of discovery and analysis for oil and gas exploration

  • SGI provided Down Under Geo with Intel-powered High Performance Compute Clusters to aid them in Oil & Gas Exploration.
  • Intel and SGI will continue working together in the future to provide machines for industries such as Energy, Government & Academic Research, Digital Content Creation & Manufacturing.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 5, 2015 – SGI has recently come off a win with Down Under Geo (DUG), providing a SGI® Pyramid 2U Phi Cluster to DUG to aid in their oil and gas exploration.

In their latest collaboration, Intel, SGI and DUG worked together to deploy a customized SGI Rackable High Performance Computing (HPC) environment which included 3,800 Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors making it one of the largest commercial deployments of Xeon Phi coprocessors. This deployment provides DUG with an added compute capacity of up to six peak petaflops.

The custom solution helps significantly accelerates DUG’s turnaround times for processing seismic data, in turn benefitting DUG customers by assisting to bring oil and gas projects on-line earlier, potentially saving them millions of dollars.

“We’re very pleased to add Down Under Geo to our growing list of clients with high performance computing needs. SGI has been in the industry for 33 years and are one of the top names in the business. However, this sale wouldn’t have been possible without the technology from Intel. We’ve worked together for many years and are eager to continue working with them to create more reliable and powerful high performance computers,” said Chee Uoon Teh, Chief Technical Officer, SGI Malaysia.

SGI started using Intel processors in 2001 when it put together the Workstation which ran on the Intel® Itanium® chipset. The company then went on to create the world’s most scalable Linux-based computer in 2003, which supported up to 64 processors in a single system node. Today, with the latest Intel® Xeon® Processor technology, SGI’s new generation advanced Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) system, UV 2000, scales up to 4,096 Cores threads and 64TB of shared memory as a single system.

“We’re excited about working together with SGI and DUG to create robust machines and look forward to providing them with more powerful and scalable processors to utilize in the coming years,” said Sumner Lemon, Country Manager, Intel Malaysia and Singapore.

In Malaysia, the Xeon Phi processor has been widely adopted by industries such as biotechnology, manufacturing and numerical weather prediction.

SGI has future plans to continue working with their HPC customer base in universities and research institutions in Malaysia. SGI also plans to reach out to new enterprises from other industries such as Financial Services, Telecommunications and Manufacturing.
