Cisco UCS-CPU-7451 2.3 GHz 24-Core 180 W CPU | Server Processor, DDR4 — UCS-CPU-7451

Keep high-density infrastructure responsive with the Cisco UCS-CPU-7451 server processor. Built for UCS environments that need more work per socket, it combines 24 cores, a 2.3 GHz base frequency, 64 MB of cache, and 180 W TDP to support compute-heavy workloads without forcing an immediate platform refresh. That balance matters in real deployments. More cores help absorb virtualization overhead, parallel application threads, and backend services that compete for CPU time. The large cache helps reduce memory trips in workloads that benefit from faster data reuse, while the 2.3 GHz operating frequency supports steady performance for mixed enterprise tasks. For procurement teams, this processor fits the kind of upgrade that extends the life of an existing Cisco UCS investment while preserving headroom for growth. For architects, it offers a clear path to higher consolidation ratios in environments where power, thermal limits, and rack density all matter. When the goal is to keep critical services online and reduce the number of sockets required per server, this CPU earns its place. Ideal For Virtualization hosts running mixed production workloads Database servers requiring higher per-socket compute density Application servers in Cisco UCS rack deployments Infrastructure refreshes that need more performance without replacing the full server Why This Product 1 More cores than lower-density Xeon options for consolidation-heavy servers 2 Higher cache capacity helps reduce stalls in shared enterprise workloads 3 180 W power profile suits performance-focused UCS configurations 4 Better fit for socket upgrades than replacing an entire server platform
