HPE 870567-B22 XL230k Gen10 Xeon Gold 6142 Front Processor Kit

• Enterprise virtualization: 16 cores and 32 threads provide substantial parallel CPU capacity for appropriately sized virtual-machine workloads, helping organizations consolidate compatible applications on dense compute infrastructure.
• High-performance computing: The Xeon Gold 6142's multi-core architecture and AVX-512 support make it suitable for scientific, engineering and other parallel workloads that can exploit CPU vector processing. 
• Private cloud compute: Provides a standardized Intel Xeon Scalable processor option for private-cloud environments built around compatible HPE Apollo infrastructure.
• Data analytics: The 2.60 GHz base frequency and 22 MB cache provide a useful combination for CPU-intensive analytics, reporting and data-processing applications.
• Technical and engineering workloads: Supports applications involving simulation, modeling and computational workloads that benefit from multiple CPU cores and AVX-512 instructions.
• Containerized enterprise applications: Provides CPU capacity for concurrent container workloads when the software stack is optimized for multi-threaded execution.
• HPC cluster expansion: Can be used as a front processor component when maintaining or configuring a compatible XL230k Gen10 two-processor system.

Why Choose This Product?

• Higher base frequency than many nearby XL230k options: The 2.60 GHz base frequency gives the Gold 6142 a strong position for workloads where per-core operating frequency matters alongside multi-core capacity. 
• 16 cores and 32 threads: Provides meaningful CPU parallelism without moving to the higher-core, potentially more power-intensive processor tiers.
• Strong mixed-workload profile: The combination of 2.60 GHz base speed, 3.70 GHz Turbo and 22 MB cache suits a broad range of enterprise applications. 
• Purpose-specific HPE front kit: The 870567-B22 SKU directly identifies the front processor configuration, reducing ambiguity during HPE XL230k Gen10 procurement. 
• Enterprise memory capability: Six DDR4 memory channels and DDR4-2666 support provide the memory architecture needed for many compute-intensive workloads. 
• Multi-socket capability: Three UPI links support communication between processors in compatible two-socket configurations. 
• HPC-oriented instruction set: AVX-512 support can provide significant benefits to applications specifically optimized for vectorized CPU computation. 
• Targeted lifecycle investment: For organizations already operating XL230k Gen10 infrastructure, replacing or adding a compatible processor can be more targeted than replacing an entire compute platform.
