HPE P36920-B21 Xeon Silver 4309Y 8-Core Processor
Overview
The HPE P36920-B21 is a server processor kit featuring the Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y CPU, engineered for the demanding requirements of modern data centers. As a core component for the HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus server family, this processor provides a solid foundation for a range of general-purpose workloads, including virtualization, IT infrastructure, and web serving. It addresses the need for reliable performance in environments that require a balance of core density, clock speed, and energy efficiency. This processor is built on Intel’s 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable architecture. Its eight cores and sixteen threads operate at a 2.8 GHz base frequency, with the ability to reach up to 3.6 GHz via Turbo Boost technology. This dynamic frequency scaling allows the server to handle both consistent multi-threaded tasks and bursty, latency-sensitive operations effectively. The 12 MB of L3 cache provides a large, high-speed data reservoir, minimizing the time the CPU waits for data from main memory and directly accelerating application performance. Designed for seamless integration, the HPE P36920-B21 is ideal for deployment in one or two-socket ProLiant Gen10 Plus rack servers, such as the DL360 and DL380 models. Its 105W Thermal Design Power (TDP) represents a calculated balance between computational output and power consumption, fitting well within standard data center cooling and power envelopes. Management is handled through the server’s embedded HPE iLO platform, providing administrators with robust control and monitoring capabilities.
