Samsung on Friday announced a significant performance breakthrough on its 5G SA Core, in collaboration with Intel.
The two companies achieved a 5G SA Core data processing capacity of 305Gbps per server and latency improvement in a mobile network environment with commercial features enabled.
This superior performance of Samsung’s 5G SA Core was accomplished using the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor and the Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810 with Enhanced Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP).
The capacity of 305Gpbs is equivalent to hosting more than 200,000 users that are live-streaming standard definition (SD) videos simultaneously.
The resulting performance advancement will not only help increase cost-efficiency for 5G Core network deployments, but also help accelerate the delivery of next-generation, high-capacity networks. This will foster more immersive 5G use cases that require much higher data volume processing with low latency. These include augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X), experiences, which can be enjoyed without impact to performance through greater capacity.
