Description
Product Overview
P12015-001 is a code name for a processor manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) called Xeon 18-core Gold 6240. It is a central processing unit (CPU) used in computers to perform arithmetic and logical operations. This processor has several unique features, such as high clock speed, large cache memory, and advanced manufacturing process. In this article, we will discuss each of these features in detail to help you understand the P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor.
Core Count
The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor has 18 processing cores. A processing core is a component of the CPU that can execute instructions. The more cores a processor has, the more instructions it can execute simultaneously. This makes the CPU more efficient and faster. The 18-core design of this processor is ideal for multi-threaded applications that can take advantage of multiple cores.
Clock Speed
The clock speed of a CPU is the rate at which it executes instructions. The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor has a clock speed of 2.60 GHz. This means that the CPU can execute 2.60 billion instructions per second. The high clock speed of this processor makes it suitable for demanding applications that require a lot of processing power, such as scientific simulations, financial modeling, and video rendering.
Smart Cache
The cache memory of a CPU is a small amount of memory that stores frequently used data. The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor has a smart cache memory of 25 MB. The cache memory improves the performance of the CPU by reducing the time it takes to access frequently used data. The smart cache feature of this processor means that it can allocate the cache memory dynamically based on the application’s requirements. This results in better performance and efficiency.
UPI Speed
UPI stands for Ultra Path Interconnect. It is a high-speed interconnect technology used in CPUs to connect multiple processors and other components. The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor has a UPI speed of 10.4 GT/s. This means that the CPU can transfer data at a speed of 10.4 gigatransfers per second. The high UPI speed of this processor allows it to communicate with other components in the system quickly and efficiently.
Socket
The socket of a CPU is the physical interface that connects it to the motherboard. The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor uses the Socket FCLGA3647. This is a server-grade socket that is designed for high-performance computing. It has a large number of pins that provide a high-speed interface between the CPU and the motherboard.
Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of a CPU refers to the technology used to fabricate the transistors and other components on the chip. The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor is manufactured using the 14nm process. This means that the transistors on the chip are 14 nanometers apart. The smaller the distance between transistors, the more transistors can be packed onto the chip, which increases the processing power of the CPU.
Power Consumption
The power consumption of a CPU is the amount of power it requires to operate. The P12015-001 HPE Xeon 18-core Gold 6240 processor has a TDP (thermal design power) of 150 watts. This means that the CPU can dissipate up to 150 watts of heat while operating at full capacity. The high TDP of this processor means that
