The wait for the most anticipated W-22xx CPU series based on the Cascade Lake architecture is over. Cascade Lake is a new family of Intel Xeon Scalable processors based on 14nm technology that introduces Intel Optane DC persistent memory and a set of new AI features called Intel DL Boost. This embedded AI accelerator will speed deep learning inference workloads, with an expected 11 times faster image recognition than the current generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors that they launched in July 2017. Cascade Lake CPUs are available from Intel through Impact now.
