Cisco UCS-CPU-I8276C= Intel Xeon 8276 2.2 GHz 28-Core

Keep core enterprise services responsive with the Cisco UCS-CPU-I8276C= Intel Xeon 8276 processor. Its 28-core architecture is built for workloads that scale through parallelism, including virtualization, database services, and application tiers that must stay available under steady demand. The 2.2 GHz base frequency and 165 W thermal design power place it in the class of processors selected for balanced performance in dense UCS server environments. A 38.50 MB cache helps improve access to active data, while DDR4 support at 2,933 MHz aligns with the memory bandwidth expectations of modern production servers. That combination matters when the goal is not just raw speed, but predictable behavior across many concurrent sessions and long-running workloads. For teams standardizing on Cisco UCS, this processor offers a strong fit for compute nodes where efficiency, density, and sustained throughput matter. It is a practical choice for infrastructure that must justify every rack unit with measurable performance, especially when compared with lower-core alternatives that can become constrained as workloads grow.
