Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U - 2.1 GHz - 8-Core - 8 Threads - 22.5 MB Cache - Server Processor

Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U server processor, launched in Q4'23, brings reliable Bronze-class performance for entry-level enterprise workloads.

Built on the Intel Xeon Scalable 5th Gen (Sapphire Rapids) platform, the Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U offers an 8-core, 8-thread design with a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and a modest boost to 2.2 GHz, making it a stable choice for sustained server tasks.

The chip includes a 22.5 MB cache and supports up to 4 TB of internal memory across octa-channel memory architecture with ECC support, providing robust memory capacity and data integrity for virtualization and database applications.

Designed for socket LGA 4677 (Socket E) and sold in a boxed E1B package, the processor targets 1-socket (1S) server systems and delivers a TDP of 125 W. Thermal specs include a Tcase of 83 °C and DTS Max of 98 °C to guide cooling design.

Feature-wise, the 3508U supports PCIe 4.0 with up to 80 lanes, extensive security and virtualization technologies (Intel® AES-NI, Intel® VT-x/VT-d, Intel® SGX, Intel® TDX capabilities), and a broad set of instruction set extensions (AMX, AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, SSE4.2) for compute-acceleration tasks.

Use cases for the Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U include entry-level database servers, small virtualization hosts, network appliances, and remote or branch-office servers where power efficiency, memory capacity, and platform-level security are priorities.

This processor also integrates advanced platform features such as Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0, Intel® DL Boost, Intel® RDT, Intel® VMD, Total Memory Encryption (Multi Key), and Control-flow Enforcement Technology, making it suitable for secure, manageable server deployments.

Key benefits at a glance:

• 8 cores / 8 threads at 2.1–2.2 GHz with 22.5 MB cache
• Up to 4 TB memory with octa-channel ECC support
• 80 PCIe 4.0 lanes and broad security/virtualization feature set
