Socket LGA 4189 8-core server processor

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU built for dual-socket server platforms. It operates at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz with a maximum turbo of 3.60 GHz. The 10 nm Ice Lake architecture delivers 12 MB of L3 cache and supports 64-bit computing with Hyper-Threading. It is sold new without a cooling device.

Eight-channel DDR4-2666 memory controller

This processor integrates an eight-channel memory controller rated for DDR4-2666 speeds and a maximum capacity of 6 TB. It provides 64 lanes of PCI Express 4.0 connectivity for high-bandwidth I/O. The thermal design power is rated at 105 W, requiring adequate server-grade cooling. Virtualization technology and 2S scalability are supported for dense workloads.

Suited for dual-socket Ice Lake deployments

This part fits builders populating LGA 4189 motherboards that support the Xeon Silver 4300 series and 105 W TDPs. It is not for systems limited to single-socket operation or platforms that cannot supply eight memory channels. Buyers needing higher core counts or different socket types should look at other Xeon models.

Questions about this item

How does the 3.60 GHz max turbo frequency behave inside a live server?

The 3.60 GHz max turbo frequency is the highest single-core speed the 8-core Ice Lake processor can reach when power and thermal headroom allow. With a 105 W TDP and 12 MB L3 cache, sustained all-core speeds will sit below this peak depending on workload and cooling.

What does PCI Express 4.0 with 64 lanes cap in practice?

PCI Express 4.0 provides 64 lanes from the CPU at 16 GT/s per lane. The lane count limits how many x16 GPUs, x4 storage devices or x8 network cards can run simultaneously at full width.

What does the LGA 4189 socket require for mounting?

The LGA 4189 socket uses a land-grid array with 4189 contacts and a standardized independent loading mechanism. A cooler rated for at least 105 W TDP and the correct ILM hardware are required; no cooling device is included.
