Upgrade your server’s processing power with the Cisco Intel Xeon Platinum 2nd Gen 8276. This high-performance processor brings a robust blend of speed, core density, and reliability to demanding workloads. Boasting an octacosa-core design (28 cores) and 56 threads, a 2.20 GHz base frequency, and a turbo/overclocking speed that reaches up to 4 GHz, it’s built to accelerate virtualized environments, data analytics, and HPC tasks. Engineered for Socket P LGA-3647 platforms, this upgrade is tailored for data centers and enterprise servers that demand scalable performance, exceptional multitasking, and long-term reliability. The 14 nm process Technology, a substantial 38.50 MB L3 cache, and a 165 W TDP underline the processor’s capability to handle intensive workloads with efficiency and stability. Whether you’re refreshing an aging rack server, expanding a virtualization cluster, or optimizing a high-performance computing node, this Xeon Platinum upgrade is designed to deliver elevated throughput and responsive performance under load.
- 28 cores and 56 threads empower heavy multitasking, virtualization, and parallel workloads, enabling more virtual machines, faster data processing, and smoother enterprise applications. The high core density translates to better task distribution, reduced bottlenecks, and improved overall system throughput, making it ideal for dense server configurations and mission-critical applications.
- 2.20 GHz base clock with a 4 GHz overclocking speed offers strong single-threaded performance for latency-sensitive tasks while preserving multi-core stability for multi-threaded workloads. This combination is well-suited for mixed workloads, including database operations, real-time analytics, and complex computational tasks that benefit from both sustained throughput and burst capability.
- 38.50 MB L3 cache enhances data locality and reduces memory latency, speeding up instruction fetches, cache-friendly algorithms, and large-scale data processing. With ample cache, you’ll experience improved performance in memory-intensive tasks such as in-memory databases, AI inference pipelines, and big data analytics.
- 14 nm manufacturing process, Socket P LGA-3647 compatibility, and a 165 W TDP create a powerful foundation for enterprise servers and upgrade paths. This design supports robust platform features, scalable memory configurations, and enterprise-grade reliability required for data centers, virtualization hosts, and HPC nodes.
- 64-bit processing and enterprise-grade reliability features make it suitable for server environments where uptime, data integrity, and security are paramount. The upgrade is crafted for professionals who demand sustained performance across demanding workloads, long operational lifespans, and compatibility with next-generation server architectures on compatible motherboards.

how to install Cisco Intel Xeon Platinum (2nd Gen) 8276 Octacosa-core (28 Core) 2.20 GHz Processor Upgrade
- Power down the server, unplug the power cords, and disconnect any attached peripherals. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge before handling the processor.
- Open the server chassis and locate the CPU socket that supports Socket P LGA-3647. Confirm compatibility with your motherboard’s CPU support list to ensure a proper upgrade path.
- Carefully release the CPU retention mechanism, remove the existing processor, and align the new Xeon Platinum 8276 with the socket using the notches and markings to ensure correct orientation.
- Apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste if the cooler requires it, mount the heatsink/fan assembly securely, and reconnect all power and cooling components. Ensure proper contact and clearance to avoid thermal or physical interference.
- Power on the server, enter the BIOS/UEFI, and verify the CPU is detected correctly. Update firmware or microcode if required, configure any performance or power settings, and run a stability/POST test to confirm proper operation.
Frequently asked questions
