Xeon Silver 4116 12-core desktop processor

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 is a dodeca-core desktop CPU built on 14 nm process technology. It targets data-centre compute, network and storage workloads for midsized and growing IT organisations. The processor delivers a base clock of 2.1 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.0 GHz. It fits Socket 3647 platforms and carries an 85 W thermal design power.

Socket 3647 compatibility decides fit

This processor only installs in motherboards equipped with a Socket 3647 interface. The 85 W TDP determines the cooling capacity required for stable operation. L2 cache totals 12 MB while L3 cache provides 16.50 MB for data-intensive tasks. The part number CD8067303567200 confirms the exact component when ordering.

Suited for multi-threaded server workloads

Organisations running virtualised environments, storage arrays or network appliances benefit from the twelve cores and 64-bit processing. Systems limited to other socket types or lower thermal envelopes cannot accommodate this chip. Buyers needing higher core counts or different power profiles should evaluate alternative Xeon models.
