Highest core counts. Database and Analytics usages benefit from DSA and IAA accelerators.

M

Media Transcode

Optimized around AVX frequencies to deliver better performance/watt around Media, AI, and HPC workloads.

N

Network/5G/Edge (High TPT / Low Latency)

Designed for NFV and networking workloads, such as L3 forwarding, 5G UPF, OVS DPDK, VPP FIB router, VPP IPsec, web server/NGINX, vEPC, vBNG, and vCMTS.

S

Storage and HCI

Optimized for Storage UMA use cases with increased UPI Bandwidth for vs. Mainline SKUs.

P

Cloud - IAAS

Designed for cloud IaaS environments to deliver higher frequencies at constrained TDPs.

Q

Liquid Cooling

Liquid-cooled processors with higher frequency and performance at the same TDP.

U

1 Socket Optimized

Optimized for targeted platforms adequately served by the cores, memory bandwidth, and IO capacity available from a single processor.

V

Cloud - SAAS

Optimized for orchestration efficiency that delivers higher core counts and VMs per rack.

Y

Speed Select

Intel® SST-PP increases the base frequency when fewer cores are enabled. Allows greater flexibility, deployment options, and platform longevity.

HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11

Notes:

- Cells without entries represent configurations not supported, and if populated, the server may result in non-optimal memory performance or other unexpected behavior.

- ¹ Support Hemi (hemisphere mode).

- ² Support Software Guard Extensions (SGX).

General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines

· Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.

· If only one processor is installed in a two-processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.

· To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors.

· When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.

· White DIMM slots denote the first slot to be populated in a channel.

· Mixing of DIMM types (UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMM) is not supported.

· The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.

· The maximum memory capacity is a function of the number of DIMM slots on the platform, the largest DIMM capacity qualified on the platform, and the number and model of installed processors qualified on the platform.
