Dell announced no fewer than 13 new PowerEdge servers based on fourth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, a move aimed at “enhancing performance and reliability” while offering some cost-effective solutions.
Jeff Boudreau, president and general manager of Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group, said customers value the company’s “manageable yet complex” solutions. His expectation for the next generation of PowerEdge servers is that it “raises the bar in power efficiency, performance and reliability.”
The latest Intel Xeon chips are already on the market in early 2023, citing improved performance and overall lower power consumption, which Dell hopes will help its latest servers improve in an era of increasing pressure on data center and delivery-critical environments.

Dell PowerEdge Update
The announcement introduces the PowerEdge HS5610 and HS5620 servers, which are available in 1U and 2U form factors, and are designed to drive adoption.
One of the key areas seeing major improvements is artificial intelligence: AI inference will be 2.9 times faster on the new PowerEdge R760 with the latest Xeon chips, the company says.
Airflow has been improved by up to 52% compared to the previous generation. This, and the performance upgrades that come with it, are designed to help the company reduce energy use.
In addition to hardware development, Dell has made a series of improvements to tools designed to help with deployment and management, including Dell CloudIQ for monitoring, Dell ProDeploy service and Dell iDRAC9 (Remote Access Controller).
Worldwide availability of the R760 is set for February 2023, with two HS-branded servers following two months later in April, with more to follow in the first half of the year.
