Intel Xeon D-2161I
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon D-2161I represents a particularly robust processor, specifically designed for demanding server and edge applications. It is based on the established Skylake architecture and manufactured using the 14 nm process. Even if this is no longer the latest standard, this manufacturing provides a mature and stable platform.

What we repeatedly notice positively is its impressively large Level 2 cache of 17 MB. This contributes significantly to very efficient data processing, especially for recurring tasks. The processor also offers a solid maximum memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s, which can be considered very good for its class.

With support for PCIe 3.0, it ensures reliable connectivity for expansion cards and fast storage solutions. The Intel Xeon D-2161I is still a reliable choice for systems where robustness and high availability are important. It is ideally suited for dedicated tasks in areas such as network infrastructure or embedded systems, where years of low-maintenance operation are required.

Its reliability is a crucial factor here.
  • Robust design for server and edge applications
  • Large 17 MB Level 2 cache for efficient data processing
  • Solid memory bandwidth (68 GB/s) and PCIe 3.0 connectivity
  • High reliability for long-term operation
