FAQs

Q: Is this CPU compatible with my UCS rack or blade server?
A: Confirm against your UCS model’s CPU support matrix and ensure BIOS/firmware versions are current for 65xx support.

Q: Are heatsinks and carriers included?
A: No. These are chassis-specific and typically purchased separately or reused from existing nodes.

Q: Can I mix different CPU models in a dual-socket server?
A: No. Use identical CPUs (same model/stepping) for supported dual-socket operation.

Q: What memory configuration is supported?
A: DDR5 RDIMM/3DS RDIMM per UCS platform guidelines; up to 5200 MT/s depending on DIMM population and motherboard limits.

Q: Is this suitable for database and analytics workloads?
A: Yes. The 24-core count, high base clock, and 60MB L3 cache are well-suited to database, analytics, and compute-intensive services.
