Purpose-built server processor

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8256 is a four-core, eight-thread server CPU with a 3.8 GHz base frequency and a 3.90 GHz maximum turbo. It delivers 16.5 MB of L3 cache and a 105W thermal design power for dense compute nodes. The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2933 speeds.

Suited for single-threaded throughput

This processor fits workloads that favour high per-core frequency over core count, such as certain database licences or legacy applications. Buyers needing many parallel threads or larger cache pools should consider higher-core-count alternatives.

Memory capacity and scaling headroom

The controller addresses up to 1 TB of DDR4-2933 memory across three UPI links, giving ample headroom for large in-memory datasets. Systems requiring more than four cores or memory beyond the supported DDR4 generation will need a different platform.
