Key Features

Intel Xeon 5217 processor
8 cores, 16 threads
3.0 GHz base frequency
11 MB Intel Smart Cache
85 W thermal design power
Dual-channel DDR4 memory support

Keep critical server workloads moving with the Intel Xeon 5217 processor built for Cisco UCS platforms. This 8-core CPU runs at 3.0 GHz and includes 11 MB of cache, giving infrastructure teams the headroom needed for mixed application hosting, virtualization, and transactional services that depend on steady per-core performance. With a 85 W thermal design power, the 5217 is a practical fit for environments that need to balance compute density and power planning. The dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 2,665 MHz helps maintain data flow to the processor, reducing bottlenecks in memory-sensitive workloads. For teams standardizing on Cisco UCS, this CPU offers a clear step up from entry-class options when uptime, consistency, and workload consolidation matter more than lowest-cost procurement. Choose this processor when you need dependable performance for production servers without overcommitting power or rack capacity. It is designed for organizations that value predictable behavior under sustained load and want a CPU that fits into established Cisco infrastructure strategies.
