Description
Product Specifications
The Cisco UCS-CPU-I6240Y is a high-performance 18-core processor manufactured by Intel, designed specifically for use in servers and data centers. This processor is part of the Xeon Gold family of processors, which are optimized for workload acceleration and offer increased security features for enterprise applications.
Processor Architecture
The Cisco UCS-CPU-I6240Y is based on the Intel Xeon Scalable processor architecture, which features a modular design that enables scalability and flexibility in server configurations. This processor utilizes the Skylake-SP microarchitecture, which includes several key enhancements over its predecessors, such as improved vector processing, larger caches, and improved power management.
The Xeon Gold 6240Y features 18 physical cores, each of which can execute two threads simultaneously thanks to Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. This allows for a total of 36 threads to be executed simultaneously, which can greatly improve the performance of multi-threaded applications. The processor also features a base clock speed of 2.6GHz, which can be increased to 3.9GHz with Intel’s Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0.
Performance
The Cisco UCS-CPU-I6240Y is a high-performance processor that is well-suited for use in enterprise applications and data centers. With 18 cores and 36 threads, this processor can handle a large number of simultaneous tasks and is ideal for running virtualized environments or applications that require high computational power. The processor also supports Intel’s Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512), which can greatly accelerate workloads that involve intensive mathematical calculations or data processing.
The Xeon Gold 6240Y also includes several security features that are designed to protect against various types of cyberattacks. These features include Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX), which enables developers to create secure enclaves for sensitive data and applications, and Intel’s Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), which provides hardware-based security for boot processes and firmware.
Power Consumption
Power consumption is a critical consideration for data centers and other enterprise environments, as high power usage can lead to increased cooling costs and reduced energy efficiency. The Cisco UCS-CPU-I6240Y is designed to balance high performance with energy efficiency, with a maximum power consumption of 150 watts.
This processor also includes several power management features that can help to reduce energy usage and improve efficiency. For example, Intel’s Speed Shift technology enables the processor to dynamically adjust its performance based on workload, which can reduce power usage during periods of low activity.
