The HP 715222-B21 CPU Kit is designed for upscaling the processing capability of HP ProLiant DL380 Gen8 servers. It incorporates the Intel Xeon E5-2609v2 processor which is distinguished by its 4 cores and 4 threads, a speed of 2.50GHz, and an 80W power envelope. This processor is designed without Hyper-Threading and operates at a higher base frequency, aimed at workloads that benefit from faster core speeds rather than higher thread counts. With a 10MB cache and optimized for 1333MHz system memory, it's engineered for reliability and efficiency in tasks that require robust processing power. The kit is complete with a customized heatsink for the DL380 Gen8 servers and the necessary installation components, making it an ideal solution for upgrades focused on enhancing computational performance in environments such as SMBs where workload demands are increasing.
