Cisco UCS-CPU-I6230C= Intel Xeon 6230 2.1 GHz 20-Core | Server CPU, Enterprise — UCS-CPU-I6230C=

Sustain demanding server workloads with the Intel Xeon 6230 processor built for Cisco UCS platforms. With 20 cores, a 2.1 GHz base frequency, and 27.5 MB of cache, it is designed to keep multi-threaded applications, virtualization clusters, and dense infrastructure nodes moving under load. This CPU fits environments where consistency matters more than headline specs. The core count supports parallel processing across many active sessions, while the cache helps reduce latency on frequently accessed data. At 125 W TDP, it is positioned for enterprise systems that balance performance density with thermal planning. For teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, this processor supports predictable scaling in compute nodes that need more than entry-level silicon. It is a practical choice for refresh cycles where uptime, workload consolidation, and sustained application response are the priority. When the cost of a slow host is measured in user impact and operational drag, this class of processor earns its place. Ideal For Virtualization hosts in Cisco UCS clusters Database and analytics servers with high thread counts Application servers supporting mixed enterprise workloads Compute nodes in consolidated rack environments Why This Product 1 20 cores for higher parallel throughput than lower-core server CPUs 2 2.1 GHz base clock for steady enterprise workload performance 3 27.5 MB cache to help reduce latency on repeated data access 4 125 W TDP suited to planned thermal and power budgets
