Description
Product Overview
The P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 processor is a high-performance central processing unit (CPU) designed for servers and other computing applications that require high processing power. It has several unique features that make it an excellent choice for demanding workloads, including a high core count, large cache memory, and advanced manufacturing process. In this article, we will discuss each of these features in detail to help you understand the P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 processor.
Core Count
The P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 processor has 16 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 16-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 P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 processor has a base clock speed of 2.2 GHz. This means that the CPU can execute 2.2 billion instructions per second. The low base clock speed of this processor may seem counterintuitive for a high-performance processor, but it is compensated by other features such as a large cache memory and a high core count.
Cache Memory
The cache memory of a CPU is a small amount of memory that stores frequently used data. The P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 processor has a cache memory of 22 MB L3. The cache memory improves the performance of the CPU by reducing the time it takes to access frequently used data. The large cache memory of this processor means that it can store more data, resulting 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 P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 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 P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 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 P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 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 P12028-B21 HPE Xeon 16-Core Platinum 8253 processor has a TDP (thermal design power) of 125 watts. This means that the CPU can dissipate up to 125 watts of heat while operating at full capacity. The high power consumption of this processor means that it requires a powerful cooling
