Description
More Specification about this HPE 870966-B21
The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor is a powerful and high-performance central processing unit (CPU) designed for use in high-end servers and workstations. It is part of the Intel Xeon Scalable Processor family, which is optimized for data center and enterprise workloads. This particular processor model is based on the Gold 6144 variant and features 8 cores, 16 threads, and a clock speed of 3.5 GHz. Additionally, it comes with 24.75 MB of L3 cache, supports a UPI speed of 10.4GT/s, and is built using 14nm manufacturing technology. It is also rated for a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 150 watts and is designed to fit in Socket FCLGA3647, which is a server-grade CPU socket.
Core Count and Threads
The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor is equipped with 8 cores, which means it can handle 8 simultaneous processing tasks at once. This is particularly useful for multi-threaded applications that can take advantage of multiple CPU cores. Additionally, this processor also features Intel’s Hyper-Threading Technology, which means each core can handle two threads simultaneously. This effectively doubles the number of processing threads available to the CPU, making it even more efficient at handling complex workloads.
Clock Speed
The clock speed of a CPU refers to how many cycles it can execute per second. In the case of the 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor, it has a clock speed of 3.5 GHz. This means that it can execute 3.5 billion cycles per second. A higher clock speed generally translates to faster processing speeds, but it is not the only factor that affects performance.
L3 Cache
Cache memory is a type of high-speed memory that a CPU uses to store frequently accessed data. The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor comes with 24.75 MB of L3 cache, which is a significant amount. This helps to improve performance by reducing the amount of time the CPU spends waiting for data to be fetched from slower types of memory, such as RAM or storage devices.
UPI Speed
UPI (Ultra Path Interconnect) is a high-speed interconnect technology used by Intel’s Xeon Scalable Processors to connect multiple CPUs or other system components together. The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor supports a UPI speed of 10.4GT/s, which means it can transfer data at a rate of 10.4 gigatransfers per second. This makes it ideal for use in high-performance computing applications that require a lot of data to be transferred quickly between different components.
Manufacturing Technology
The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor is built using 14nm manufacturing technology. This refers to the size of the transistors on the CPU die. A smaller transistor size generally means better power efficiency and higher performance, as it allows more transistors to be packed onto the same size of the die.
Thermal Design Power (TDP)
The thermal design power (TDP) of a CPU refers to the amount of power it consumes under normal operating conditions. The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor is rated for a maximum TDP of 150 watts. This is quite high, but it is not uncommon for high-end server CPUs. It is important to ensure that the cooling system in a server or workstation is capable of handling the heat generated by the CPU.
Socket Type
The 870966-B21 HPE Intel Xeon Processor is designed to fit in Socket FCLGA3647, which is a server-grade
