Server CPU Processor

The IBM 00KA023 is an Intel Xeon server processor built for multi-threaded workloads in rack and tower systems. It delivers ten cores at 1.7GHz with 25MB of L3 cache to handle virtualisation, database and compute tasks.

64-bit Xeon interface

The chip runs on a 64-bit Xeon architecture with a base frequency of 1.7GHz and 25MB cache. Performance scales with core count and memory bandwidth, so maximum throughput depends on the platform configuration and cooling solution chosen.

Bare processor installation

The unit ships as a bare processor without a heatsink or fan, so a compatible cooling device must be sourced separately. Installation follows standard LGA socket procedure; the main risk is bent pins or inadequate thermal paste application.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 10-core 1.7 GHz model or the 6-core 2.4 GHz version listed under the same part number?

The 10-core 1.7 GHz processor gives you more threads for parallel workloads, while the 6-core 2.4 GHz unit runs each thread faster. Choose the 10-core for virtualization or rendering; choose the 6-core for lighter, frequency-sensitive tasks.

How does the 1.7 GHz base clock behave once the chip is installed in a server?

The 1.7 GHz is the guaranteed base frequency across all 10 cores. Under load the CPU can raise its speed within thermal limits, but sustained all-core performance will stay near 1.7 GHz unless the cooling solution allows higher turbo bins.

What does the 25 MB L3 cache actually limit in day-to-day operation?

The 25 MB L3 cache is shared by all 10 cores and holds the hottest data and instructions. When working sets exceed this size the cores must fetch from main memory, increasing latency and reducing throughput for memory-intensive applications.
