P10966-B21 HPE ML350 Gen10 Xeon 8260L Processor Kit

P10966-B21 is the HPE ML350 Gen10 Intel Xeon-Platinum 8260L processor kit. The Platinum 8260L has 24 cores at 2.4 GHz and a 165 W rating, and it is a 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor in the 8200 series, code-named Cascade Lake.

It has three UPI links at 10.4 GT/s, and its six DDR4 channels run at 2933 MT/s with one DIMM per channel and 2666 MT/s with two. Series features are Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, AVX-512 with two 512-bit FMA units, 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0, node controller support, advanced RAS and VNNI/DL Boost.

The -B21 kit is what a configure-to-order two-processor ML350 Gen10 uses for its second processor, and it is also the kit for a second-processor field upgrade. The first processor is the P10966-L21 kit, and two different processor models cannot be mixed. Because 165 W is above 85 W, this processor uses the Performance heatsink, and the second processor brings the Redundant Fan Cage Kit (874572-B21) into the build.

The same 24-core, 2.4 GHz, 165 W profile also comes in the ML350 Gen10 as the 8260 (P10954-B21) and 8260M (P10961-B21). The 8260Y (P12292-B21) is the Speed Select model, which runs at three distinct operating points of 24, 20 or 16 cores.

The spare processor is P11633-001, an Intel Xeon Platinum CLX 8260L twenty four-core 2.40 GHz processor with a 165 W thermal design power and socket FCLGA3647.

Further Platinum kits are in HPE server processors.
