CISCO UCS-CPU-I5218R – Cisco Gold 5218R (2.1GHz – 20C) CPU

Detailed Description:

The CISCO UCS-CPU-I5218R CPU is part of Cisco’s Gold processor lineup, designed for high-density computing within the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) framework. This powerhouse CPU operates at a base frequency of 2.1GHz across 20 cores, offering remarkable multi-threaded performance ideal for data centers and enterprise-level applications requiring high throughput. With support for Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, it can handle up to 40 threads simultaneously, making it exceptionally well-suited for virtualized environments, demanding database applications, and large-scale computing tasks. The processor’s compatibility with DDR4 memory at high speeds ensures that data flows efficiently to and from the CPU, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing overall system responsiveness. The 5218R comes equipped with a 24.75MB Intel Smart Cache, reducing latency and improving performance by keeping critical data and instructions close to the processor cores. The CPU’s thermal design power (TDP) rating of 125W strikes a balance between performance and energy consumption, aligning with modern data center energy efficiency standards. Furthermore, the inclusion of Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology allows the CPU to dynamically increase its clock speed above its base frequency, providing additional performance for peak loads. With robust security features and support for the latest I/O and network technologies, the CISCO UCS-CPU-I5218R is engineered to meet the demands of the most intensive computing tasks in today’s fast-paced business environments.
