HPE Intel Xeon Silver 4214 Processor - 12 Core, 2.2GHz, Server

HPE Intel Xeon Silver 4214 Processor - 12 Core, 2.2GHz, Server is a dependable server CPU from Intel’s 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable family designed for demanding enterprise workloads.

This Intel Xeon Silver 4214 features 12 physical cores and 24 threads with a base frequency of 2.2 GHz and a Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz, delivering balanced performance for virtualization, databases, and multi-threaded server applications.

Built on a 14 nm process and carrying a 16.5 MB L3 cache, the 4214 supports 64-bit operation, AVX-512 instruction sets and advanced virtualization technologies such as VT-x, VT-d and Intel® Run Sure, making it suitable for consolidation and cloud infrastructure.

The processor supports hexa-channel DDR4 memory at 2400 MHz with ECC and up to 1 TB of internal memory per CPU, providing robust memory bandwidth and data integrity important in enterprise servers. It offers up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes and two UPI links for scalable I/O and inter-CPU communication in 2-socket (2S) configurations.

With a TDP of 85 W and a Tcase of 77 °C, the Xeon Silver 4214 is energy-conscious for its class and works in HPE platforms such as the DL380 Gen10; note that a cooler is not included and the CPU uses the LGA 3647 (Socket P).

Security and manageability are strong points thanks to features like Intel AES-NI, Trusted Execution Technology, Speed Shift, Intel vPro eligibility, and other platform enhancements. The chip also includes support for Intel® Optane™ Memory modules for optimized storage responsiveness.

Typical use cases include virtualized server hosts, mid-range database servers, web and application servers, and entry-level HPC tasks that can exploit AVX-512 instructions. Its 12-core/24-thread configuration offers a compelling mix of throughput and efficiency for businesses upgrading server capacity.
