Description

Intel Xeon Scalable processor

The Intel Xeon Scalable family comes in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels, and its generations are used in servers from several vendors (for example HPE ProLiant from Gen10 onward and Lenovo ThinkSystem).

The family's levels allow a precise choice between core count, frequency, number of supported sockets and features such as persistent memory.

For every workload, from a simple file server to heavy virtualization and in-memory databases, there is a model that fits the budget.

This text is the general explanation of this category of part (not a claim about one specific model).

Official notes (verbatim QuickSpecs text)

  • 4th Gen processor: the Technical Guide's 'Supported DIMMs' table lists only 6400 MT/s RDIMMs, which Dell states are applicable for 5th Gen processors; the 4800 MT/s RDIMMs for 4th Gen are only in the memory matrix (no option row) - memory for this processor needs expert confirmation. Xeon Max: HBM modes (Xeon Max only without DIMMs / Cache / Flat), the DDR5:HBM ratio 2:1-64:1 for cache mode and its own DIMM-count rules (Table 152) need expert confirmation.
