Intel Xeon 6 - 6511P 2.3 GHz FCLGA 4710 72MB L3 Cache Granite Rapids Hyper-Threading Support Cooling device not included - Processor only - PK8072006398801 - OEM

The Intel Xeon 6 6511P is a 16-core, 32-thread server processor with 72 MB cache, a 2.3 GHz base frequency, and up to 4.2 GHz turbo, suited to single-socket server deployments that need strong parallel processing.

Recommended For

• IT teams building a single-socket server for multiple virtual machines or container workloads that can use 16 cores and 32 threads.
• Server builders connecting several high-speed PCIe devices—such as accelerators, storage, and network cards—within one processor-based system.
• Organizations running parallel CPU server workloads, such as scientific or engineering jobs, that can use many cores; Dell has published SPEC CPU2017 floating-point results for a PowerEdge system with this processor.
• Server operators needing ECC-capable DDR5 memory, high memory capacity, and server-class expansion in a one-socket platform.
• Developers running AI or analytics software optimized for Intel AMX who want to evaluate CPU-based acceleration on a server platform.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• On a single-socket server consolidating several business services or virtual machines, the Xeon 6511P can provide one host for mixed workloads; the number of VMs it can sustain depends on their memory, storage, and CPU demands.
• For a scale-out database node serving concurrent reads and writes, the Xeon 6511P is positioned for general-purpose server workloads; database response times and capacity will also depend on the database software, memory, and storage configuration.
• When running CPU-heavy parallel jobs such as software builds, data processing, or compression on a server, the 6511P has a published SPEC CPU2017 integer-rate result for this exact processor; real completion times vary with the application and system configuration.
• For a virtual-desktop host serving office users, Xeon 6 P-core systems are used in VDI testing, where the practical goal is responsive sessions rather than simply maximizing the desktop count; the cited tests use other Xeon 6 models, so they do not establish a session count for the 6511P.
• At a network or edge site, the 6511P can serve as the CPU in a server handling services such as content delivery or network applications; actual throughput depends on the complete platform, including its network interfaces, storage, and software.
