US-based technology major Intel has demonstrated the upcoming Intel Xeon processor showing up to 1.59x higher performance running in-memory SAP HANA workloads at the SAP Sapphire NOW conference.
Diane Bryant, group president of the Data Center Group at Intel, revealed the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable family will be available in mid-2017 providing enhanced performance to in-memory applications like SAP HANA. Faster time-to-insight will allow IT organizations to respond to change without lag.
SAP has certified HANA to support up to 6x greater system memory on the new Intel platform for 4- or 8-socket configurations over the representative installed base of systems available four years ago.

Intel demonstrated live its future persistent memory solution in a DIMM form factor, exhibiting Intel’s commitment to re-architecting the data center to support the future needs of a data-intensive world driven by the growth of artificial intelligence, 5G, autonomous driving and virtual reality.
Intel persistent memory will be available in 2018 as part of an Intel Xeon Processor Scalable family refresh (codename: Cascade Lake).
Lisa Davis, vice president of IT Transformation for Enterprise and Government in the data Data Center Group at Intel, said with Intel persistent memory, in-memory databases like SAP HANA can deliver even faster transactions, perform real-time analytics and accelerate business decision-making.
