Intel® just launched its 4th Generation Xeon® Scalable processor, which is geared towards its Enterprise customer base. To learn more about how Intel solves sustainability challenges, I had a conversation with Stephanie Schmidt, who is the Senior Director, Data Center Product Sustainability with Intel.

The key takeaways of the conversation are as follows:
• Sustainability is a key issue: With the increasing demand for compute, data center energy consumption, waste, and water use are also growing, making sustainability a critical consideration for enterprises. Inefficient infrastructure can emit increasing amounts of carbon, especially as compute demand increases, creating a big challenge for enterprises.
• Sustainability can drive business growth: Sustainability can be a differentiator for businesses and lead to new monetization opportunities. It reduces costs, drives value, and is a huge driver for innovation, making it a selling point for sustainable products and solutions.
• Energy efficiency is driving tech innovation: Sustainability is driving tech innovation and new solutions. For example, AI-based telemetry and immersion cooling can reduce electricity consumption, and modularity can reduce carbon footprint. Intel offers software that autonomously and continuously optimizes applications in the cloud, reducing CPU utilization while still meeting performance and latency goals.

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:

[00:31] One of the topics on everyone’s minds is sustainability. As you know, there are many public initiatives focused on it. We have the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, as well as many individual government initiatives that are focused on the health of our planet. With that on our minds, what are some of the challenges enterprises face when considering options for refreshing their aging infrastructure?

[03:53] What are some of the ways businesses go about attaining their sustainability goals, while still keeping their CFO happy because at the end of the day, it’s the economics that will drive the growth of their business?

[08:17] Can you share some case studies on how the 4th generation Intel scalable processor addresses sustainability?

[11:32] How can people connect with you to learn more about the 4th generation Xeon scalable processor?

[12:33] Do you have any parting words of wisdom to share with the audience?
