HPE Xeon Gold 6242 server processor

The HPE P02510-B21 is a new Intel Xeon Gold 6242 processor with 16 cores running at 2.8 GHz base frequency. It uses the Socket 3647 interface and is validated for HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers. The chip is built on 14 nm technology and includes 22 MB of L3 cache.

Installation notes and common issues

The processor fits Socket 3647 and requires a compatible server board with appropriate power delivery for its 150 W TDP. Thermal specification reaches 85 °C, so adequate cooling is essential. Common issues include mismatched BIOS revisions and insufficient VRM capacity on non-validated platforms. Ensure the system firmware supports this specific model before installation.

Practical limits of the Socket 3647 platform

Socket 3647 supports multi-socket configurations and high memory capacity, but single-thread performance tops out at the 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. The 150 W power envelope limits density in thermally constrained chassis. Memory speed and channel population rules are defined by the server platform, not the processor alone. Workloads needing higher core counts or lower power per core may require different SKUs.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the processor is running at its 2.8 GHz base frequency after installation?

Check the BIOS or operating-system CPU utility; it should report a base clock of 2.8 GHz and a maximum turbo of 3.90 GHz on all 16 cores.

What is included in the box and what must I source separately for the Socket 3647 platform?

The package contains the Xeon 6242 processor only; a compatible Socket 3647 heatsink, thermal paste and HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 system board must be purchased separately.

Which version of this 16-core Xeon should I select for a 150 W thermal envelope in a DL380 Gen10?

Choose the P02510-B21 model rated at 150 W TDP with 22 MB L3 cache and 2.8 GHz base speed for the DL380 Gen10 chassis.
