The
Intel Xeon Platinum 8160, a product of the
Skylake architecture, was once a central building block for modern data centers. This processor was manufactured using the then-advanced 14-nanometer process. It offered an impressive number of cores and threads, making it ideal for demanding server tasks.
Its particular strength lay in its ability to process complex workloads in parallel and efficiently. We witnessed how well it was suited for data-intensive environments. Another major advantage was the generous Level 3 cache of 33 MB. This ensured fast access to frequently used data, which noticeably increased overall performance.
In addition, it was characterized by a high memory bandwidth of up to 128 GB per second. This was crucial for applications that needed to process large amounts of information quickly. The
Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 can still be found in many server farms today. It provides a stable basis for virtualization solutions and important enterprise services.
The integrated PCIe 3.0 connection expands its versatility for various expansion cards.
- High core and thread count
- Generous 33 MB Level 3 cache
- High memory bandwidth of 128 GB/s
