Description
Product Overview
The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor is a high-performance computing solution designed for use in the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 server. It boasts a 12-core configuration, 3.6GHz base clock speed, and 33MB of L3 cache, making it a powerful option for intensive workloads. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of this processor in detail.
12-Core Configuration
The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor is built with 12 physical cores that can handle up to 24 threads through Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. This high core count is particularly useful for running parallelized workloads, such as virtualization, scientific simulations, and data analytics.
3.6GHz Base Clock Speed
The base clock speed of a processor determines how quickly it can execute instructions. The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor has a base clock speed of 3.6GHz, which is a high speed for a server processor. This speed, combined with the high core count, enables the processor to handle demanding workloads efficiently.
33MB L3 Cache
The L3 cache is a type of memory built into the processor that stores frequently accessed data. The larger the L3 cache, the more data the processor can keep close at hand, which can improve performance. The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor has a 33MB L3 cache, which is a generous amount of memory that can help improve performance in a variety of workloads.
Socket FCLGA3647
The socket type determines how the processor connects to the motherboard. The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor uses the FCLGA3647 socket, which is a socket designed for use with Intel Xeon processors. This socket supports a high number of pins, which enables it to support high-core-count processors like the P23353-B21.
14nm Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process determines the size of the transistors used to build the processor. A smaller transistor size generally leads to better performance and lower power consumption. The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor is built using a 14nm manufacturing process, which is a relatively small size for a server processor. This small size enables the processor to be more power-efficient than older, larger-process chips.
205W TDP
The thermal design power (TDP) is a measure of how much power the processor is designed to dissipate as heat. A higher TDP generally means that the processor can handle more power, but it also means that it generates more heat. The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor has a TDP of 205W, which is a high power rating. This rating indicates that the processor is designed for use in demanding workloads that require a lot of processing power.
10.4GT/s UPI
The Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) is a type of communication channel that allows processors to communicate with each other. The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor has a UPI speed of 10.4GT/s, which is a high-speed interconnect that enables it to communicate with other processors in a multi-socket server quickly.
Only for HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 It is important to note that the P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor is designed only for use in the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 server. This processor is not compatible with other servers or desktop systems.
Summary, The P23353-B21 HPE Xeon Gold 6256 processor is a high-performance computing solution designed for use in the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 server. It features a 12-core configuration, 3.6GHz base clock speed, 33MB L3 cache, FCLGA3647 socket, 14nm manufacturing process, 205W TDP, and 10.4GT/s UPI. This processor is optimized for demanding workloads that require a lot of processing power and is not compatible with other servers or desktop systems.
