Description
Introduction of the HPE 818204-B21
The HPE Intel Xeon E5-2698V4 Processor Kit (part number: 818204-B21) is a powerful and reliable processor designed for use in servers, workstations, and other high-performance computing environments. The processor has 20 cores, a base clock speed of 2.2GHz, and a total cache size of 50MB L3 Cache. It has a quick path interconnect (QPI) speed of 9.6GT/s, and it operates on a socket FCLGA 2011. The processor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 135 watts and is built using a 14-nanometer manufacturing process.
Processor Architecture
The HPE Intel Xeon E5-2698V4 Processor Kit is built using the Broadwell-EP architecture, which is a successor to the Haswell-EP architecture. The Broadwell-EP architecture is designed to deliver improved performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessor.
The processor has 20 cores, which are arranged into two clusters of 10 cores each. Each core has a clock speed of 2.2GHz, but the processor can boost its clock speed to up to 3.6GHz under heavy loads using Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The processor also supports Hyper-Threading Technology, which allows it to execute up to 40 threads simultaneously.
Number of Cores
The 818204-B21 has 20 physical cores, which means that it can perform up to 20 tasks simultaneously. This is beneficial for applications that require a lot of processing power, such as scientific simulations, financial modeling, and machine learning. Each core can also execute up to two threads simultaneously, which means that the processor can handle up to 40 threads at once.
Socket and Power Consumption
The 818204-B21 is designed to be used in servers and workstations that have a Socket FCLGA 2011, which is a type of socket that’s used to connect the processor to the motherboard. The processor has a TDP (thermal design power) of 135W, which means that it can consume up to 135 watts of power at full load. This makes it a high-power processor, which is necessary for high-performance applications.
QPI Speed
The 818204-B21 has a QPI (QuickPath Interconnect) speed of 9.6GT/s, which is a type of interconnect that’s used to connect the processor to other components in the system, such as memory and I/O devices. The higher the QPI speed, the faster the processor can communicate with these components, which results in better overall system performance.
Memory Support
The 818204-B21 supports DDR4 memory, which is a type of memory that’s faster and more energy-efficient than its predecessor, DDR3. The processor supports up to 24 memory slots, which means that it can support up to 3TB of memory when using 128GB DIMMs. This is beneficial for applications that require a large amount of memory, such as virtualization and big data analysis.
Advanced Features
The 818204-B21 has several advanced features that make it an ideal choice for high-performance computing applications. One of these features is Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, which allows each core to execute up to two threads simultaneously. This results in better overall system performance, especially for applications that are multithreaded.
The processor also has Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, which allows it to automatically increase its clock speed when it detects that the system is under heavy load. This results in better overall system performance without the need for manual overclocking.
Another advanced feature of the 818204-B21 is Intel vPro Technology, which provides hardware-based security features that can help protect the system against malware and other threats. It also provides remote management capabilities, which allows IT administrators to manage the system even when it’s turned off or has a failed operating system.
