Engineer's Note: The 5315Y pairs 8 cores / 16 threads with a 3.20 GHz base clock that boosts to 3.60 GHz on demand and 12 MB of on-die cache, making it a drop-in candidate for virtualization hosts running dozens of VMs. The 140 W thermal envelope keeps it inside standard server cooling budgets. Its FCLGA4189 socket means it slots into existing platforms without board redesign. Positioned as the workhorse tier of the Scalable family, balancing per-core speed and core density, it is built for sustained multi-user workloads.
1. Scalability to 2-socket systems: in multi-socket servers the processors share memory over a coherent interconnect (11.2 GT/s), letting a single OS instance use all cores and all RAM — the classic architecture for large relational databases and consolidation hosts.
2. 64 PCIe lanes (PCIe 4.0): the lane budget drives expansion. NVMe SSDs, 25/100GbE NICs, and GPU accelerators each consume 8–16 lanes, and this processor keeps enough lanes free to build a storage-dense or GPU-accelerated node without a PCIe switch — saving cost and a hop of latency.
3. Memory platform on the 5315Y: support for DDR4-2933, up to 6 TB of RAM, 8 memory channels. This is the headroom in-memory databases and dense VM farms need — capacity for growth, bandwidth for the data streams in between.
4. 140 W TDP: the thermal envelope is sized for sustained all-core loads in multi-socket chassis, so the processor holds its rated clocks through long batch windows instead of throttling halfway through. It also keeps per-socket cooling and power costs predictable when you scale out — datacenter capacity planning runs on numbers like these.
5. 8 cores / 16 threads: hardware multi-threading lets each physical core run two instruction streams, so concurrent workloads — virtualization hosts running dozens of VMs — share the die without context-switch overhead. When you size licenses or plan VM placement, thread count is the number the scheduler actually sees.
When you spec out virtualization hosts running dozens of VMs, the 5315Y turns architectural decisions into predictable outcomes. Its 8-core layout sizes the node for expected concurrency, the 3.60 GHz turbo headroom keeps interactive paths responsive, and 6 TB of addressable memory gives the platform room to grow. Every unit passes functional testing before shipment, and our bulk-pricing desk keeps multi-socket refresh projects inside budget.
Q: Is the This product compatible with my server?
A: The This product uses the FCLGA4189 socket. Check your motherboard's qualified processor list — any chassis with that socket and matching BIOS support will run it. Our team can confirm compatibility if you share your server model.
Q: Is it new or refurbished? What warranty applies?
A: We offer both new and tested refurbished units — the condition is shown on each listing. All processors include a one-year warranty and pass functional testing (boot, memory controller, all cores) before dispatch.
Q: Will 140 W TDP fit my server's cooling budget?
A: 140 W is within the standard envelope for its socket generation, so existing chassis cooling handles it under sustained all-core load. Confirm your server's supported TDP range if you are upgrading from a lower-tier part.
Q: What workloads suit 8-core processors best?
A: With 8 cores / 16 threads, this processor is sized for multi-threaded server workloads: virtualization hosts, database servers, and application consolidation. Single-threaded-light environments (file servers, internal tools) will leave headroom unused.
Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for fleet upgrades?
A: Yes. Multi-socket refresh projects and fleet orders get consolidated pricing — request a quote through the form on this page with your target quantity, and our team responds with an offer typically within one business day.
