Intel has unveiled three new additions to its Xeon 6 family of processors.

The CPUs with P-cores (Performance-cores) include Intel’s Priority Core Turbo (PCT) technology and Speed Select Technology – Turbo Frequency (SST-TF), and have been designed specifically to boost GPU performance across AI workloads.

In a statement, Intel said the introduction of PCT paired with the company’s SST-TF technology “marks a significant leap forward in AI system performance,” as it allows for the “optimal distribution of CPU resources” across both high and low priority cores.

One of the new processors, the Intel Xeon 6776P, has debuted as the host CPU for the Nvidia DGX B300.

“These new Xeon SKUs demonstrate the unmatched performance of Intel Xeon 6, making it the ideal CPU for next-gen GPU-accelerated AI systems,” said Karin Eibschitz Segal, corporate vice president and interim general manager of the data center group at Intel. “We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Nvidia to deliver one of the industry’s highest-performing AI systems, helping accelerate AI adoption across industries.”

Intel launched its Xeon 6700/6500 series in February 2025. Describing them as the “ideal CPU for modern data centers” due to their ability to pair “exceptionally well with a GPU as a host node CPU,” the Intel Xeon 6 portfolio delivers an average of 1.4x better performance when compared to 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors across a “wide range of enterprise workloads.”

The CPUs have a TWP of between 150 to 300W and contain up to 86 cores, up to eight channels of DDR5 MRDIMM (multiplex ranked DIMM) memory, up to 88 lanes for PCIe 5.0 (or 136 lanes for single socket design), and up to 64 lanes CXL 2.0.
