Server Processors

Intel Xeon server processors family includes the Xeon E5 v2, v3, and v4 CPUs and the Xeon Scalable family of processors, including Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These are built on the following architectures: Skylake, Cascade Lake, Ice Lake, and Sapphire Rapids. Models such as the E5-2699 V4, Silver 4216, and Gold 6240 are available in our inventory and provide enterprise-level reliability. The AMD EPYC Rome, Milan, and Genoa series of CPUs offer higher core density, memory bandwidth, and performance for today’s data centers.

Cloud and virtualization workloads need high-core-count CPUs to maximize efficiency. Intel’s Xeon processors, such as the E5-2697 V2 and E5-2699 V3 series, are designed for the reliable deployment of various VMs. The Xeon Gold and Platinum processor families support much larger cluster sizes. AMD’s EPYC processors, such as the 7402P, 7502, and 7742 series, provide the highest density of VMs and consistent performance with VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM.

Intel Xeon server processors, such as the Gold 6134 and Silver 4210R, feature balanced base frequencies and Turbo Boost technology, which help to provide responsive workloads for ERP systems, transactional databases, and hosting. AMD EPYC 7F72 offers the highest frequency speed for analytics and database workloads, which is designed specifically for workloads with latency-sensitive requirements like analytics and databases.

Power efficiency is critical for sustainability. Both Intel and AMD server processors utilize the best power management and thermal control technologies that allow them to deliver the highest level of performance per watt consumed. Architectures like Broadwell, Haswell, Cascade Lake, and Ice Lake provide optimal density for servers located in dense racks, edge computing environments, and 24×7 enterprise workloads, while delivering the lowest overall cost of ownership and maintaining long-term stability.

These server CPUs are designed for enterprises to accommodate a wide variety of single-socket and multi-socket configurations, allowing you to expand the processor and memory capacity of your servers. The Intel Xeon series (LGA 3647, 4189, 4677) supports both DDR4/DDR5 ECC memory, providing a high level of bandwidth and reliability. The AMD EPYC series (SP3) provides enhanced memory throughput and density of I/O ports, allowing for easy scalability in the areas of large databases, analytics, and virtualization clusters when used with Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro, and Cisco UCS servers.

Every compute-intensive workload, such as AI, databases, and HPC workloads, requires powerful CPUs to achieve optimal performance. The Intel Xeon Platinum CPU series (8273CL and 8168) has a very large L3 cache and supports multi-socket scalability. The AMD EPYC 7742 processor has 4-128 cores, enabling the processing of multiple threads simultaneously. PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 provide access to accelerate GPUs, NVMe storage devices, and networking capabilities, allowing for faster processing of data from AI pipelines, analytics, and scientific workloads.
