Description

Upgrade your Cisco server lineup with the reliability and performance of the Intel Xeon Gold 5215 from the 2nd Generation Xeon Gold family. This deca-core (10-core) processor is designed for demanding enterprise workloads, delivering robust multi-threaded performance, strong single-thread bursts, and enterprise-grade stability. Built on a 14 nm process, it combines an expansive 13.75 MB L3 cache with 20 threads to accelerate virtualization, large-scale databases, ERP systems, and other data-centric applications. The processor’s 2.50 GHz base clock and turbo frequency up to 3.40 GHz ensure responsive handling of peak workloads, while the 85 W thermal envelope provides a solid balance between performance headroom and cooling requirements in data centers and rack deployments. With Socket P LGA-3647 compatibility, this upgrade can be installed on compatible Cisco servers without soldering, simplifying maintenance and enabling a smooth transition to higher performance without major platform changes.

  • Powerful 10-core, 20-thread performance: Delivers strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, database engines, and enterprise workloads, enabling more concurrent users and faster processing of complex tasks on Cisco servers.
  • High clock speeds for burst workloads: Features a solid 2.50 GHz base clock with a turbo boost up to 3.40 GHz, delivering responsive performance during latency-sensitive operations and peak processing windows.
  • Robust cache and data access: A large 13.75 MB L3 cache reduces memory bottlenecks, speeds up data reuse, and improves overall application throughput for data-intensive enterprise apps.
  • Efficient, enterprise-grade design: Built on a 14 nm process with an 85 W TDP, this processor balances performance with energy efficiency and reliable operation in 24x7 data center environments.
  • Easy upgrade path with Socket P (LGA-3647): Designed for straightforward installation as an upgrade on compatible Cisco server motherboards, enabling solder-free integration and a cleaner migration path.

How to install Cisco Intel Xeon Gold (2nd Gen) 5215 Deca-core (10 Core) 2.50 GHz Processor Upgrade

  • Power down the system and unplug from power. Open the server chassis following your vendor’s safety guidelines to access the motherboard and CPU sockets.
  • Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge. Use an anti-static wrist strap and work on a non-conductive surface.
  • Verify motherboard compatibility for the LGA-3647 Socket P and confirm the BIOS supports Intel Xeon Gold 2nd Gen processors and the 5215 model.
  • Raise the CPU socket lever, align the processor with the socket pins using the orientation markers, and carefully seat the CPU into the socket without forcing it.
  • Lower the socket lever to lock the processor in place. Apply a thin, even layer of quality thermal paste if required by your cooling solution, then mount the heatsink or cooler securely.
  • Reconnect power, boot the server, and enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify CPU detection. Update microcode or BIOS firmware if prompted by the system or vendor guidance.
