HPE 870579-B21 XL230k Gen10 Xeon Platinum 8176F Rear Processor Kit

Brand:
HPE

HPE 870579-B21 is a rear processor kit for the HPE ProLiant XL230k Gen10, built around the Intel Xeon Platinum 8176F. With 28 cores, 56 threads, 2.10 GHz base frequency, up to 3.80 GHz turbo and 38.5 MB cache, it targets high-density HPC, scientific computing, simulation, analytics and other heavily parallel workloads. Its rear-position design makes it especially relevant for supported XL230k Gen10 dual-processor configurations.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 870579-B21 is the rear processor kit for the HPE ProLiant XL230k Gen10, featuring the 28-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8176F for demanding parallel workloads. Compatibility: HPE XL230k Gen10 rear CPU position. Compare: 870579-B22 is the matching front kit using the same Xeon Platinum 8176F, while 870571-B21 uses the lower-core Xeon Gold 6130.
