HPE Intel Xeon Silver 4214R is a 12-core, 2.4 GHz Cascade Lake processor designed for HPE ProLiant DL380 servers and optimized for modern data-center workloads.

This 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor (model 4214R) delivers 12 physical cores and 24 threads with a base frequency of 2.4 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.5 GHz, offering a balanced mix of single-thread and multi-thread performance for virtualization, database and cloud tasks.

Built on a 14 nm process, the Xeon Silver family part includes 16.5 MB of L3 cache and supports 64-bit operating modes, enabling efficient handling of large datasets and multi-user environments.

The processor supports hexa-channel DDR4 memory at up to 2400 MHz and can address up to 1 TB of RAM, which makes it suitable for memory-intensive server applications and large virtual machine footprints. It provides up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes and is scalable to 2-socket configurations (2S) for expanded compute capacity.

With a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 100 W and a tray package (cooler not included), the 4214R is intended for professional server integration; note the LGA 3647 (Socket P) socket compatibility for proper installation in ProLiant DL380 systems.

Typical use cases include virtualization hosts, small-to-medium sized database servers, web and application servers, and general-purpose enterprise workloads where reliability, memory capacity and balanced core counts are important.

Key selling points—12 cores / 24 threads, Cascade Lake architecture, 16.5 MB L3 cache, 1 TB memory support, hexa-channel DDR4-2400 and 48 PCIe lanes—make this CPU a practical choice for IT teams seeking stable, scalable server performance.
