HPE Intel Xeon Silver 4208 Processor - Server-Grade Performance

HPE Intel Xeon Silver 4208 Processor - Server-Grade Performance brings reliable Cascade Lake power to your data center with features designed for modern server workloads.

As a member of the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable family, the Intel Xeon Silver 4208 delivers 8 cores and 16 threads with a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and up to 3.2 GHz turbo, making it well suited for multi-threaded server and workstation tasks.

The processor is built on a 14 nm process and offers 11 MB of L3 cache, a TDP of 85 W, and support for Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0 and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology for balanced performance and efficiency in 64-bit operating modes.

Memory and I/O capabilities include hexa-channel DDR4 support up to 2400 MHz, ECC for data integrity, and a maximum internal memory capacity of 1 TB. The CPU provides up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes and two UPI links, enabling robust connectivity for storage and network expansions.

Security and virtualization are covered with Intel® AES-NI, Intel VT-x/VT-d, Intel Trusted Execution Technology, Intel Speed Shift, and AVX-512 support including FMA units, making this processor suitable for virtualization, encryption, and high-performance compute tasks.

The Xeon Silver 4208 is targeted at server deployments (market segment: Server) and is compatible with HPE DL380 Gen10 systems using the LGA 3647 (Socket P). Note that no cooler or discrete graphics are included, and the part weighs approximately 1.13 kg with specified dimensions.

Typical use cases include virtualization hosts, database front-ends, web and application servers, and compute clusters that benefit from AVX-512 and multi-core throughput while keeping power consumption moderate at 85 W TDP.
