  • Features Intel SGX, the most deployed trusted execution environment, with up to 512GB enclave per processor.
3rd Gen Xeon Scalable Gold Processors
  • Up to 32 cores per Intel Xeon Gold processor
  • Up to 8 memory channels at up to 3200 MT/s.
  • Featuring Intel SGX, the most deployed trusted execution environment, with up to 64GB enclaves per processor.
3rd Gen Xeon Scalable Silver Processors
  • Up to 20 cores per Intel Xeon Silver processor.
  • Up to 8 memory channels at up to 2667 MT/s.
  • Featuring Intel SGX, the most deployed trusted execution environment, with up to 8GB enclave per processor.

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 can be powered by up to 2x 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors featuring up to 28 cores.

2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors feature increased per-core performance over the previous generation and provide high-performance and scalability for compute-intensive workloads. Intel Optane Persistent Memory is supported and there is a 50% increase in memory bandwidth and capacity.

Enjoy 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth and throughput for taxing I/O-intensive workloads. 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors feature up to four Intel Ultra Path Interconnect channels. Intel Ultra Path delivers the ideal balance between enhanced throughput and energy efficiency.

2nd Gen Xeon Scalable Platinum Processors
  • Featuring outstanding processing performance and solid, hardware-based security, these processors are ideal for mission critical, AI, real-time analytics machine learning and multi-cloud workloads.
2nd Gen Xeon Scalable Gold Processors
  • Supporting higher memory speeds, improved memory capacity and scalability, Intel Xeon Gold processors provide significantly enhanced performance, reliability and hardware-enhanced security.
2nd Gen Xeon Scalable Silver Processors
  • Providing essential performance, better memory speed and power efficiency, Intel Xeon Silver processors deliver the performance needed for entry data centre computes, storage and network.
2nd Gen Xeon Scalable Bronze Processors
  • Intel Xeon Bronze processors provide entry-level performance for small business and basic storage servers and deliver the reliability, serviceability and availability to meet your needs.
