Intel Xeon Platinum 8280
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 is a processor specifically designed for demanding server environments. Its architecture, known as Cascade Lake, provided an excellent foundation for data centers at the time. We see that this CPU still reliably performs its services in many systems. The 14-nanometer manufacturing process was state-of-the-art and mature at the time.

It is characterized by its high number of cores, which enable excellent multicore performance. It impressively demonstrates its strengths, especially in parallel tasks and virtualization. Another feature is the generous L3 cache of 39 MB for fast data access. This supports the efficient processing of large data sets and complex applications.

With a maximum memory bandwidth of 141 GB/s, it offers sufficient capacity. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 remains a solid choice for many professional workloads.
  • High Multicore Performance
  • Generous L3 Cache
  • Good Memory Bandwidth
  • Robust for Server Environments
