HPE 715224-L21 Xeon E5-2697 v2 2.7GHz Processor for DL380p G8

The HPE 715224-L21 is a processor upgrade kit featuring the Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 CPU, designed to significantly enhance the compute capabilities of dual-socket server environments. Specifically engineered for systems like the HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen8, this processor kit provides a direct path for scaling performance to handle demanding, concurrent enterprise workloads such as virtualization, data analytics, and high-performance computing. At its core, this processor leverages the Ivy Bridge-EP architecture, providing 12 cores and 24 threads through Intel’s Hyper-Threading Technology. This multi-core, multi-thread design, combined with a substantial 30 MB L3 cache, allows for rapid data access and efficient processing of parallel tasks, which directly translates into improved application responsiveness and higher workload density in virtualized environments. Intended as a second processor upgrade, the 715224-L21 kit allows administrators to unlock the full potential of their existing server infrastructure. The 22nm manufacturing process ensures a balance of performance and power efficiency, operating within a 130W thermal design power (TDP). Its installation expands a server’s resource pool, enabling it to support more users, larger databases, and more complex computational jobs without requiring a complete system replacement.
