Cisco UCS-CPU-7251 2.0 GHz 8-Core 120 W Processor | Enterprise CPU — UCS-CPU-7251

Maintain steady throughput in Cisco UCS environments with the UCS-CPU-7251 processor. Its 8-core design and 32 MB cache help keep frequently accessed data close to the cores, reducing stalls in mixed server workloads. The 2.0 GHz base frequency provides consistent execution for applications that value stability over burst-only behavior. With a 120 W thermal design power, this CPU is intended for enterprise platforms engineered to handle higher-performance processors without compromising thermal planning. That matters in dense rack deployments where power budgets, cooling profiles, and platform compatibility all affect long-term operating cost. For teams refreJTFng aging compute nodes or standardizing on a known Cisco platform, this processor offers a clear path to dependable capacity. It is a practical fit when you need a server CPU that aligns with UCS infrastructure expectations and supports workloads that stay active all day, not just during peak windows. Ideal For Upgrade Cisco UCS servers running virtualization hosts Refresh compute nodes for database and application workloads Standardize spare CPU inventory for UCS maintenance teams Deploy in dense rack environments with controlled thermal budgets Why This Product 1 8 cores for sustained multi-threaded workloads 2 32 MB cache for lower latency on repeated accesses 3 120 W TDP for enterprise thermal planning 4 Cisco UCS compatibility for platform-aligned upgrades
