HPE P36920-B21 Xeon 2.8 GHz Processor brings reliable Intel performance to your server environment with the Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y at a 2.8 GHz base clock.

This processor is built on Intel's 10 nm lithography and offers eight physical cores and 16 threads, enabling efficient multi-threaded workloads and consolidation of virtual machines or containerized services.

Clocked at a 2.8 GHz base frequency and capable of Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.6 GHz, the Xeon 4309Y balances steady performance with burst capability for latency-sensitive tasks and variable server loads.

With a 12 MB L3 cache and a 105 W TDP, this CPU is designed for dense rack deployments and mainstream data center use where predictable thermal and power envelopes matter.

Memory support includes DDR4-SDRAM at 2667 MHz across an octa-channel configuration, providing high memory bandwidth for in-memory databases, analytics, and high-throughput applications.

The processor uses the LGA 4189 socket and supports PCI Express 4.0 connectivity for fast NVMe storage and high-speed network or accelerator cards. Note that it does not include on-board or discrete graphics, as expected for a server-class CPU.

Typical use cases include virtualization hosts, web and application servers, database front-ends, and compute nodes for software-defined infrastructure. Its combination of cores, threads, cache, and memory channels makes it a solid choice for modern data center workloads.
