This global transformation is rapidly scaling the demands for flexible compute, networking, and storage. Future workloads will necessitate infrastructures that can seamlessly scale to support immediate responsiveness and widely diverse performance requirements. The exponential growth of data generation and consumption, the rapid expansion of cloud-scale computing, emerging 5G networks, and the extension of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) into new usages require that today's data centers and networks urgently evolve-or be left behind in a highly competitive environment. These demands are driving the architecture of modernized, future-ready data centers and networks that can quickly flex and scale.
The Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform provides the foundation for a powerful data center platform that creates an evolutionary leap in agility and scalability.3 Disruptive by design, this innovative processor sets a new level of platform convergence and capabilities across to compute, storage, memory, network, and security. Enterprises and cloud and communications service providers can now drive forward their most ambitious digital initiatives with a feature-rich, highly versatile platform.
What are the specifications of the Cisco HX-CPU-6146 processor?
The Cisco HX-CPU-6146 is a 12-core processor running at 3.2 GHz with a 165W power envelope and 24.75MB cache, supporting DDR4 memory. This Intel Xeon Gold-class processor is designed for high-performance computing environments in Cisco UCS rack servers. We offer this component as part of our comprehensive Cisco server parts inventory available from barcodesinc.com.
Is the Cisco HX-CPU-6146 compatible with Cisco UCS C-series servers?
The HX-CPU-6146 is compatible with Cisco HyperFlex and UCS server platforms that support Socket 3647 processors. For specific server model compatibility, we recommend verifying the socket type and generation of your system. Contact us today to confirm compatibility with your existing infrastructure.
What is the power consumption of the Cisco HX-CPU-6146?
The Cisco HX-CPU-6146 has a thermal design power (TDP) of 165W, making it suitable for data center environments with adequate cooling infrastructure. This power specification should be factored into your server's power budget and cooling requirements. Visit barcodesinc.com for detailed technical documentation on power and thermal specifications.
How does the Cisco HX-CPU-6146 compare to the HX-CPU-6142M and HX-CPU-6138?
The HX-CPU-6146 operates at 3.2 GHz with 12 cores, while the HX-CPU-6142M runs at 2.60 GHz with 16 cores, and the HX-CPU-6138 operates at 2.0 GHz with 20 cores. The 6146 offers a balance of clock speed and core count for moderate workloads, while higher core-count options suit heavily threaded applications. We offer all three models to support different performance requirements—contact us today to discuss which processor best fits your workload.
What cache memory does the Cisco HX-CPU-6146 include?
The Cisco HX-CPU-6146 features 24.75MB of L3 cache, which improves performance by reducing latency for frequently accessed data in computing operations. This cache size is optimized for enterprise workloads running on Cisco UCS infrastructure. Available from us at barcodesinc.com with full technical specifications.
Can I use the Cisco HX-CPU-6146 as a replacement for older generation processors?
The HX-CPU-6146 uses Socket 3647 and is compatible only with servers designed for this socket type, so backward compatibility with older socket generations is not possible. Before upgrading, verify your server's processor socket and BIOS support for the 6146 model. Contact us today to ensure proper compatibility and to discuss upgrade options for your existing infrastructure.
