Looking for a server brain that can handle heavy workloads without slowing down? The HPE Intel Xeon-Gold 6230N processor kit gives you the power you need for demanding applications. It is built for servers and workstations that run virtual machines, databases, or AI tasks. If your current CPU is choking on data, this kit removes the bottleneck and keeps your business running smoothly.
HPE Intel Xeon-Gold 6230N (2.3GHz/20-core/125W) Processor Kit
Many enterprises struggle with slow response times when multiple users access the same server. The problem grows as data sets become larger and more complex. This processor solves the issue by delivering 20 physical cores and 40 threads, allowing many tasks to run at once. With a high boost frequency of 3.9 GHz, you get fast performance when you need it most, while the 28 MB cache reduces memory latency.
Benefits
- Run more virtual machines on a single server, saving hardware costs.
- Accelerate data-intensive workloads such as analytics and AI.
- Maintain high availability with built-in error-correcting memory support.
- Reduce power consumption per core thanks to efficient 14 nm design.
- Future-proof your infrastructure with support for DDR4-2933 and PCIe 3.0.
Usages
The Xeon-Gold 6230N fits perfectly in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers for enterprise workloads. Use it in private clouds to host multiple VMs, in database servers that need fast transaction processing, or in AI inference nodes that benefit from AVX-512 and DL Boost. It also works well in high-performance compute clusters for scientific simulations and in storage arrays that require fast data handling.
