Intel PK8072205511600 Xeon Platinum 8571N 52-core 2.4 GHz server processor

Xeon Platinum 8571N 52-core server processor

This Intel Xeon Platinum 8571N is a 52-core, 104-thread server CPU built for dense multi-threaded workloads. It fits the LGA 4677 socket and runs at a 2.4 GHz base frequency with a 4.0 GHz maximum turbo. The 300 MB L3 cache and eight DDR5 channels at 4800 MT/s feed data to all cores. Virtualization technology and PCIe 5.0 with 80 lanes complete the platform feature set.

Sustained 300 W load behaviour

The processor has a 300 W thermal design power, so cooling must handle continuous dissipation at that level. All 52 cores can maintain elevated frequencies while the integrated memory controller drives eight channels of DDR5. Turbo behaviour depends on the cooling solution and power limits set in firmware. Without adequate airflow the chip will throttle to stay within its thermal envelope.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify the motherboard uses the LGA 4677 socket and supports the Emerald Rapids core. Confirm the board provides eight DDR5 slots wired for 1 DPC operation at 4800 MT/s. Ensure the power delivery subsystem is rated for a 300 W TDP and that the chassis can accommodate a cooler rated for that heat output. PCIe 5.0 lanes require compatible backplanes or risers to be usable.
