Intel launches new Xeon 6 chips featuring company's PCT tech for AI performance boost

Hindustan Times23-05-2025
Intel, on May 22, unveiled three new additions to its Intel Xeon 6 CPU family. These are intended to manage GPU-powered AI systems. Intel says that these new processors come with Performance-cores (P-cores) and feature Intel's Priority Core Turbo (PCT) technology and Intel Speed Select Technology - Turbo Frequency, which delivers customisable CPU core frequency. We have GPU performance as AI workloads increase. Here are the details.
Intel says that the Intel Xeon 6776P was chosen as the host CPU for Nvidia DGX B300, which is the company's latest-gen AI-accelerated system. Intel says that this allows for managing, orchestrating, and supporting AI-accelerated systems for Nvidia's DGX B300. This is possible due to the memory capacity and bandwidth that the Xeon 6776P offers.
Intel also claims that Xeon 6 processors offer up to 128 performance cores per CPU and support 30 percent faster memory speed than before. Thanks to high-capacity configurations, memory bandwidth with MRDIMMs, and Compute Express Link. Intel also says that these offer 20% more PCIe lanes than the former generation of Xeon processors. This, of course, facilitates faster data transfer. Intel added that these CPUs support FP16 precision arithmetic, which enables efficient data pre-processing and CPU performance during workloads.

Intel claims that the 'introduction of PCT, paired with Intel SST-TF, marks a significant leap forward in AI system performance.' And that 'PCT allows for dynamic prioritization of high-priority cores, enabling them to run at higher turbo frequencies.' It added, 'In parallel, lower-priority cores operate at base frequency, ensuring optimal distribution of CPU resources. This capability is critical for AI workloads that demand sequential or serial processing, feeding GPUs faster and improving overall system efficiency.'

They also support the latest AI tools, including Google's Gemini assistant and a bunch of other smart features for notes, editing, and more. But if you're wondering which one gives better value overall, here's a full side-by-side breakdown to help you and buildBoth the Vivo X200 FE and the OnePlus 13s have a solid glass and metal build. The Vivo X200 FE is 7.9mm thick and weighs 186 grams. It gets Gorilla Shield Glass for protection and a superior IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. The OnePlus 13s is slightly thicker at 8.2mm but weighs a gram less at 185 grams. It uses Ceramic Guard protection and has an IP65 rating. So, in terms of protection and slimness, Vivo gets a slight edge. The Vivo X200 FE comes in three colours — Amber Yellow, Luxe Grey, and Frost Blue. The OnePlus 13s also comes in three shades — Green Silk, Black Velvet and Pink barely any difference here in terms of size or resolution. The Vivo X200 FE has a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1216 x 2640 pixels. The OnePlus 13s offers a 6.32-inch AMOLED panel with the same resolution. Both support a 120Hz refresh rate. Vivo stands out in brightness with a 1,800 nits support in HBM, while OnePlus hits 1600 nits in HBM mode. So if you're mostly outdoors or love super-bright displays, Vivo is the slightly better The OnePlus 13s has the newer and more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, while the Vivo X200 FE is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus. Both are very capable, but Snapdragon tends to have an edge in gaming and overall efficiency. So if performance is your priority, OnePlus pulls ahead here. In terms of RAM and storage, both phones offer 12GB + 256GB and higher-end variants with 512GB. Vivo offers 16GB RAM with 512GB, whereas OnePlus sticks to runs Funtouch OS 15 on top of Android 15 and promises three years of main OS updates. OnePlus runs OxygenOS 15, also on Android 15, and offers four years of main OS updates. Both phones feature Google's Gemini AI assistant and support a range of AI-powered tools like transcription, photo editing, and summaries. OnePlus, however, has integrated these features more deeply and seamlessly, making the experience slightly more polished and chargingThis is where the Vivo X200 FE takes the crown. It packs a massive 6,500mAh battery with 90W wired charging. That's a big battery and fast top-up time. The OnePlus 13s has a smaller 5,850mAh battery and 80W wired charging. Not slow by any means, but if battery life is your concern, Vivo clearly offers more Vivo X200 FE offers a triple-camera setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide. The OnePlus 13s keeps things simpler with a 50-megapixel main and a 50-megapixel telephoto, but no ultra-wide. For selfies, Vivo uses a 50-megapixel front camera, while OnePlus offers 32 megapixels. Vivo clearly gives more variety in rear cameras and a higher-resolution selfie the Vivo X200 FE and the OnePlus 13s start at Rs 54,999 for the 12GB + 256GB option. Vivo's 16GB + 512GB variant is Rs 59,999, while OnePlus charges the same for its 12GB + 512GB version.

All eyes are on Google after Samsung, Vivo unveil premium foldable devices

With Samsung and Vivo unveiling their latest foldables, Google could be next in line for a major hardware launch. The company is expected to host its Made by Google 2025 event next month, where it will likely introduce the Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and updated wearables like the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. Made By Google 2025: Expected schedule Last year, Google moved its Pixel launch timeline from October to August, revealing devices earlier than usual. A similar schedule is expected this year, with the Made by Google 2025 event likely to take place in the second week of August. For context, the 2024 edition was held on August 13. According to 9to5Google, the Pixel 10 lineup could be unveiled by mid-August, with deliveries potentially starting around August 20. Made By Google 2025: Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4, Buds 2a expected Pixel 10 series: The anticipated Google Pixel 10 series is expected to encompass four models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google is unlikely to introduce a major design overhaul this year, instead opting for subtle refinements. However, notable changes are expected in the camera department, particularly for the base model. The standard Pixel 10 may adopt the same main and ultra-wide camera sensors seen in the Pixel 9a, which would represent a downgrade compared to the Pixel 9. It might compensate for this by adding a telephoto lens with 5x periscope-style optical zoom, similar to the one found on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are expected to retain their current camera systems, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may also switch to the Pixel 9a's primary sensor, replacing the higher-resolution sensor previously used in the foldable model. All four devices are expected to run on Google's upcoming Tensor G5 chipset and boot Android 16 out of the box. Last year, Pixel 9 launched with Android 14 even though Android 15 was already in preview. Google is likely to change that this year as Android 16 is already rolling out to eligible Pixel devices. Additionally, the Pro models may support the Qi2 wireless charging standard. Alongside the Pixel 10 series smartphones, Google is anticipated to launch wearable devices including the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. Pixel Watch 4: Details on the Pixel Watch 4 remain limited, but TechRadar recently reported that it will be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, similar to the previous generation. It may also be offered in new colour variants, including: Silver/Porcelain Silver/Iris Gray/Moonstone Black/Obsidian Gold/Lemon Pixel Buds 2a: Google is also expected to refresh its Pixel Buds A-series lineup with a new model, likely called Pixel Buds 2a. These earbuds are tipped to include updated audio drivers for improved sound quality and new colour options like: Hazel Strawberry Iris Fog Light Made By Google 2025: Expected pricing of Pixel 10 series According to a recent 9to5Google report, pricing for the Pixel 10 lineup will largely mirror last year's Pixel 9 series. Here's a look at the anticipated European pricing: As for accessories, the Pixel Buds 2a are expected to be priced at €149, up from €109 for the original Pixel Buds A-Series.
