Cisco Intel I6434H 3.7 GHz 8-Core CPU | UCS X-Series, Enterprise — UCSX-CPU-I6434HC=

Keep critical workloads responsive with a processor built for demanding Cisco UCS X-Series deployments. The Intel I6434H combines 8 cores, a 3.7 GHz base frequency, and 22.5 MB cache to support mixed enterprise workloads that need consistent latency and dependable throughput. With 195 W TDP and DDR5 4,800 MT/s support, it fits configurations where compute density, memory bandwidth, and thermal planning all matter. For architects standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, this CPU offers a clear fit for virtualization hosts, database nodes, and application servers that benefit from strong per-core performance without moving into higher-core, higher-power alternatives. It is a practical choice when you need to preserve rack efficiency while still giving workloads enough headroom for sustained demand. Because processor selection affects platform balance, power budgets, and lifecycle value, this model is best suited to teams that want a measured upgrade path inside the UCS X-Series ecosystem. It helps align performance targets with predictable thermal and memory characteristics, making it easier to design around real production constraints rather than overspecifying for peak-only scenarios.
