Dell™ PowerEdge™ Servers and Intel® Xeon® 6 Processors Deliver Increased Performance and Efficiency for Modern Data Centers
Bellevue, WA July 01, 2025 --( )-- A new study conducted by Prowess Consulting highlights how Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Performance-cores (P-cores) offer performance and efficiency for the diverse workloads demanded by modern data centers, including AI and analytics. Prowess Consulting's technical research study compares next-generation PowerEdge servers to previous-generation platforms and competing solutions for performance and efficiency. In this study, commissioned by Intel and Dell Technologies, Prowess Consulting found that PowerEdge R470 servers powered by Intel Xeon 6747P processors can provide up to 102% more compute performance than prior-generation PowerEdge R450 servers with Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors and that PowerEdge R770 servers powered by Intel Xeon 6787P processors can provide up to 45% more compute performance than previous-generation PowerEdge R760 servers with Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ processors. In efficiency, Prowess Consulting found that PowerEdge R770 servers powered by Intel Xeon 6787P processors consumed up to 40% less power at idle compared to an HPE® ProLiant® Compute DL380 Gen12 server powered by the same Intel Xeon 6787P processors. 'The recent release of Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores offers organizations more power and versatility without the need for a dedicated GPU,' says Jonathan Chappelle from Prowess Consulting. 'Dell PowerEdge servers running on Intel Xeon 6700-series processors with P-cores continue to outpace competitors in market share while also addressing the demands for increased performance and efficiency in modern data centers.' For AI workloads and complex analytics, performance demands have only increased. MLPerf® is a benchmark suite developed by MLCommons to provide unbiased evaluations of training and inference performance for hardware, software, and services in machine learning (ML). With enhanced Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) with support for new FP16 instructions, PowerEdge R670 servers with Intel Xeon 6787P processors deliver up to 1.5x greater performance than PowerEdge R760 servers with previous-generation Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ processors, as measured using the MLPerf 5.0 benchmark. High-performance LINPACK (HPL) is a benchmark used to evaluate the floating-point performance of supercomputers and distributed-memory systems. Among the study's findings, Prowess Consulting found that PowerEdge R770 servers with 86-core Intel Xeon 6787P processors offer up to 62% more HPL performance than previous-generation PowerEdge R760 servers with 64-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ processors. The study also found that PowerEdge R770 servers with 86-core Intel Xeon 6787P processors can provide up to 96% more HPL performance than PowerEdge R760 servers with 56-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ processors. Prowess Consulting also identified several benchmark wins against previous generations. For example, PowerEdge R670 servers with 86-core Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores offer up to 35% more online transaction processing (OLTP) performance and up to 42% more online analytical processing (OLAP) performance than previous-generation PowerEdge R760 servers with 64-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ processors.

Technical Research Report: Analyzing the Benefits of Windows Server® 2025 OEM Licensing and Dell™ PowerEdge™ R770 Servers
Bellevue, WA May 12, 2025 --( )-- A total cost of ownership (TCO) study conducted by Prowess Consulting reveals that the Windows Server® 2025 OEM license that comes preinstalled on Dell™ PowerEdge™ R770 servers delivers significant savings in both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx) compared to a traditional volume-licensed, manually installed version.* Additional benefits of Windows Server 2025 include enhanced security capabilities, with multi-layered security rooted in hardware, in addition to hotpatching updates. To investigate how Windows Server 2025 can help small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) address today's business and operational challenges, Prowess Consulting compared the benefits of Windows Server 2025 OEM licensing preinstalled on PowerEdge R770 servers to traditional, manually installed volume licensing. They also examined the new and enhanced capabilities of Windows Server 2025 versus Windows Server 2022. The study's results indicate that the latest version of Windows Server with OEM licensing can help SMBs modernize infrastructure, significantly lower TCO, protect against cyber threats, and meet regulatory requirements. 'Standardizing server environments with Windows Server 2025 OEM licensing preinstalled on PowerEdge R770 servers can significantly lower TCO,' says Ben Fuller, Prowess Consulting Account Director. 'Compared to traditional volume licensing, OEM licensing costs less, streamlines software procurement, reduces manual intervention, accelerates server deployment, and significantly lowers CapEx and OpEx.' Windows Server 2025 installed on PowerEdge R770 servers enables SMBs to adopt a zero-trust security model rooted in hardware. Multi-layered, hardware-enforced, and automated security features like hotpatching enhance an organization's security strategy without requiring specialized expertise. Other future-ready enhancements help boost AI and machine learning (ML) performance, scale infrastructure from edge to cloud, improve operational efficiency, and streamline DevOps. Particularly of benefit for organizations with limited IT resources is the OEM licensing's technical support package, which is superior to that of traditional licensing.
