The Intel Xeon Platinum 8151 was a high-end server/workstation processor with 12 cores, launched in Q3 2017. It is part of the Xeon Platinum lineup, using the Skylake-SP architecture with Socket LGA3647. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading technology, the core-count is effectively doubled, to 24 threads. Xeon Platinum 8151 features a base clock speed of 3.4 GHz and can turbo boost up to 4.0 GHz depending on workload demands, with an impressive 24.75 MB of L3 cache. Intel manufactured the Xeon Platinum 8151 on a 14 nm production process, incorporating advanced transistor technology for improved performance and efficiency. With a TDP of 240 W, this processor requires robust cooling solutions to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The processor supports DDR4 memory with a six-channel interface at speeds up to 2666 MHz, significantly improving memory bandwidth for data-intensive applications. ECC memory is fully supported, ensuring data integrity for mission-critical workloads. For system communication, the Xeon Platinum 8151 utilizes PCI-Express 3.0 connections. Like most server-grade processors, this model lacks integrated graphics, requiring a dedicated graphics card for display output. The processor includes advanced features such as hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x) for enhanced virtual machine performance, as well as support for AVX-512 instructions for accelerated vector processing tasks. The unlocked multiplier allows for potential overclocking capabilities, though the high TDP should be carefully considered when pushing performance limits. This processor is designed for multi-socket configurations, enabling up to 8-way operation in high-end server environments.
