Wind River: Wind River Supports Intel Xeon 6 Processors Designed to Power Advanced AI for the Most Demanding Cloud and Edge Environments

Wind River announced Wind River Studio Operator support for the Intel® Xeon® 6 SoC. Designed for the most demanding cloud and edge workloads, the Intel Xeon 6 SoCs enable advanced AI RAN support with built-in acceleration engines for vRAN and media workloads at the edge. A demonstration showcasing the power of Studio Operator running on Intel's new chipset will be featured at Mobile World Congress 2025. Based on the open source StarlingX project, Studio Operator provides a Kubernetes- and container-based distributed cloud architecture for the development, deployment, operation, and servicing of distributed networks at scale. It solves service providers' complex challenges of deploying and managing cloud-native infrastructure for core-to-edge distributed cloud networks while also supporting enterprises in managing their own private cloud networks. Able to tackle the biggest edge computing challenges, the Intel Xeon 6 SoC is optimized for high performance per core in a single socket, delivering better performance than other general-purpose CPUs for compute-intensive workloads such as AI, vRAN, and media-encoding workloads. Addressing the needs of modern networking infrastructure, the Intel Xeon 6 So C can help reduce costs with power-efficient computing, as well as built-in acceleration for media and networking. Wind River has played key roles in the world's first successful fully virtualized 5G data session; the first Open RAN deployment in Canada; and the development of commercial vRAN/O-RAN programs, including one of the largest Open RAN networks in the world. Additionally, Wind River was instrumental in launching the first fully automated edge data center for commercial service and enabling the telecom industry's largest CaaS vendor changeover on a 5G Open RAN network.
