Case Study
Intel data center CPUs set new benchmark for advanced bioinformatics
Intel collaborated with bioinformatics innovators to develop a genomic analysis pipeline using Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors on Dell PowerEdge Servers. This proof-of-concept pipeline processed genomic data 14x faster than standard workflows, leveraging Intel's x86 architecture optimizations. The pipeline, developed with Charité BIH and Sentieon, achieved 21% faster performance using 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors compared to 3rd Gen processors. This solution addresses scalability and cost challenges in bioinformatics, providing an efficient, scalable alternative to specialized hardware. The innovation promises faster, more accessible genomic insights, crucial for precision medicine and improving healthcare outcomes.
