Build Transformative Solutions for the Intelligent IoT Edge

Extended operating temperature ranges¹ and industrial-class reliability make Intel Xeon D-1700 and D-2700 processors ideal for high-performance, soldered-down designs. They are suitable for rugged equipment, small form factors, and sealed fanless devices that must run nonstop in the toughest environments.

Accelerate deep learning AI workloads

The platform includes integrated hardware acceleration for deep learning inference—Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost). Intel DL Boost combines three Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX) instructions into one, which speeds processing of int8 workloads. To take advantage of Intel DL Boost, use the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit to tune and optimize deep learning models.

Run hard real-time workloads faster and more predictably

Available on select processors, Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (Intel® TCC)¹ improves performance for latency-sensitive applications at the system level. Intel TCC includes a toolkit for tuning the system and creating precise time and task management for systems running real-time hypervisors.

Fine-tune CPU performance for multiple concurrent workloads

Intel® Speed Select Technology (Intel® SST)¹ provides precise control over per-core throughput and performance, including base frequency and frequency prioritization at the CPU core level. It supports performance profiles that allow you to configure a single CPU to run multiple workloads with a mix of critical priorities for specific processes like factory operations, command and control systems, or business processes.

Consolidating workloads reduces the number of systems you need to certify, which can lower your bill of materials. For critical applications, the processors’ high core counts give systems the resources they need to run multiple redundant versions of the same system for error checking and failover support.

Build a more secure edge with hardware-based security

Embedded devices are vulnerable to weaknesses in the network and on-site physical tampering. To help combat these threats, Intel Xeon D-1700 and D-2700 processors have hardware-based security measures. The measures can help reduce your physical and cyberattack surface and help prevent memory snooping in edge deployments.²

Split cores for multiple workloads and more-robust systems

With options from four cores up to 20 cores, Intel Xeon D-1700 and D-2700 processors can run multiple virtual machines, operating systems, and control systems. Multi-OS support—including real-time operating systems, hypervisor support, and multiple Intel® technologies for fine-tuning CPU performance—lets you consolidate multiple disparate workloads onto a single device.

Support high-bandwidth networks and peripherals

Large video systems, automated manufacturing lines, and high-speed communications devour bandwidth. Intel Xeon D-1700 and D-2700 processors meet this demand with integrated 50Gb or 100Gb Ethernet and up to 56 high-speed PCIe lanes—including up to 32 PCIe 4.0 and 24 configurable PCIe 3.0 lanes.¹
