Intel Xeon Silver 4310 12-Core 2.1 GHz Server Processor BX806894310

Server processor for dual-socket platforms

The Intel Xeon Silver 4310 is a 12-core, 24-thread CPU built for dual-socket servers using the LGA 4189 socket. It runs at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with a 3.30 GHz maximum turbo, backed by 18 MB of L3 cache and a 120 W thermal design. The 10 nm Ice Lake architecture delivers eight-channel DDR4-2666 memory support up to 6 TB and 64 lanes of PCI Express 4.0 for I/O expansion. A cooling solution is not included.

Suits scale-out workloads.

This processor targets scale-out deployments such as virtualization hosts, container clusters and cloud infrastructure that benefit from two-socket scaling and high memory capacity. The eight memory channels and two-socket scalability make it efficient for memory-bound applications. Buyers building single-socket workstations or edge appliances should look elsewhere, as the platform requires a dual-socket motherboard and matching power delivery to operate correctly.

LGA 4189 socket and dual-socket requirement

The decisive specification is the LGA 4189 socket paired with explicit two-socket scalability. The CPU will only function in a motherboard wired for this socket and a dual-socket power and firmware configuration. If your chassis, board or firmware stack supports only a single socket, this part cannot be used. Verify platform compatibility before purchase.
