This white paper presents performance data for several virtualized evolved packet core (EPC) and 5G Core Network (5GCN) functions running on three SKUs of 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, formally codenamed Cascade Lake. Intel engineers tested against typical enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and fixed wireless access (FWA) traffic models and pipelines. The testing was focused on user plane performance for both control and user plane separation (CUPS)-based EPC implementations and the 5G user plane functions (UPFs). The results demonstrate performance continues to improve steadily in this domain, with mid-range or Intel® Xeon® Gold processors delivering throughput in the range of 100 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) per socket for typical eMBB workloads and in excess of 250 Gbps per socket for FWA workloads.
