Intel Xeon Silver 4316 30M Cache 2.30GHz 20 Core 40 Threads Processor

The Intel BX806894316 is a Xeon Silver 4316 server processor designed for teams that need strong, predictable performance without moving into the top tier of power or cost. With 20 cores that work on 40 threads, it can juggle virtual machines, databases, and analytics tasks at the same time. A base clock of 2.30 GHz keeps everyday workloads steady, and when demand peaks the processor can boost up to 3.40 GHz to keep response times tight.

Data-intensive applications benefit from the 30 MB cache, which shortens the trip between the cores and frequently used information. The processor also supports up to 6 TB of DDR4-2667 memory spread across eight channels, giving businesses room to host large in-memory datasets, expand virtual desktop pools, or consolidate multiple services on one platform without running into bottlenecks.

The FCLGA4189 interface and dual-socket support make the chip a natural choice for 1U or 2U rack servers that need headroom for expansion. Up to 64 lanes of PCI Express 4.0 provide bandwidth for NVMe storage arrays, 25 GbE networking, or accelerator cards used in AI inference and encryption. A 150 W thermal design power aligns with common data-center cooling strategies, keeping operating costs predictable.

Administrators who oversee private clouds, branch office infrastructure, or high-density virtualization hosts will appreciate the balance this processor strikes between core count, memory capacity, and power consumption. Built-in technologies for security and virtualization help protect workloads and simplify deployment in environments that use containers or hypervisors such as VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM.
