The HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor is a high-performance CPU designed for use in enterprise-level servers. It features 16 cores and a clock speed of 2.8GHz, making it capable of handling even the most demanding workloads. In this article, we will take a closer look at the technical specifications of this processor, including its cache size, UPI speed, and power consumption.
Processor Model and TypeThe HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor is part of the Xeon Gold family of CPUs, which are designed for use in data centers and other enterprise-level computing environments. It is a server-grade CPU, meaning that it is optimized for performance, reliability, and scalability. The processor is based on the Intel Xeon Scalable Processor architecture, which is designed to deliver improved performance and efficiency compared to previous generations of Xeon processors.
Number of Cores and ThreadsOne of the key features of the HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor is its 16 cores. Each core is capable of executing instructions in parallel, which means that the CPU can handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This is important for applications that require a high degree of parallelism, such as scientific computing, data analytics, and machine learning. In addition to its 16 cores, the processor also supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, which allows each core to execute two threads simultaneously. This effectively doubles the number of threads that the processor can handle, which can further improve performance in multithreaded applications.
Clock SpeedThe clock speed of a processor refers to the number of cycles per second that the CPU can execute. The HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor has a base clock speed of 2.8GHz, which means that it can execute 2.8 billion cycles per second. This is a relatively high clock speed, which makes the processor well-suited for applications that require fast single-threaded performance. However, it is worth noting that the clock speed of a processor is not the only factor that determines its overall performance. Other factors, such as the number of cores, cache size, and memory bandwidth, can also have a significant impact on performance.
Cache SizeThe cache is a small amount of memory that is built into the processor. It is used to store frequently accessed data and instructions, which can be retrieved more quickly than if they were stored in main memory. The HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor has a total cache size of 22MB. This includes 16MB of L2 cache and 22MB of L3 cache. The L2 cache is split into 16 slices, with each core having access to its own slice. This helps to reduce cache contention and improve performance in multithreaded applications.
UPI SpeedThe UPI (Ultra Path Interconnect) speed is the speed at which the processor communicates with other processors in a multi-socket system. The HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor has a UPI speed of 10.4GT/s (gigatransfers per second). This is a relatively high UPI speed, which means that the processor can communicate with other processors in the system quickly and efficiently. This is important for applications that require high levels of interprocessor communication, such as distributed computing and parallel processing.
Socket TypeThe socket type is the physical interface between the processor and the motherboard. The HPE Xeon Gold 6242 processor uses the FCLGA3647 socket, which is a type of socket that is designed for use with high-end server CPUs. The socket has 3647 pins, which allows it to provide a high level of connectivity between the CPU and the motherboard. This helps to ensure that the CPU can communicate with other components in the system quickly and efficiently.

About New Bulk Pack Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
