Intel Xeon 6252 Cisco UCS-CPU-I6252 24-Core 2.1 GHz | Server Processor — UCS-CPU-I6252

Keep critical server workloads responsive under sustained load with the Intel Xeon 6252 processor for Cisco UCS platforms. With 24 cores, a 2.1 GHz base clock, and 35.75 MB of cache, it is designed for environments that need predictable parallel performance across virtualization hosts, database nodes, and application servers. The 150 W thermal design power reflects a server-class part intended for controlled chassis cooling and high-density deployment. DDR4 2933 MHz memory support helps maintain data movement efficiency in systems tuned for enterprise workloads, while the dual-chip package design supports the platform architecture used in Cisco UCS infrastructure. For teams standardizing on a proven compute tier, this processor offers a strong balance of core count, cache capacity, and power profile. It is a practical choice when you need more headroom than entry-level CPUs provide, without moving to higher-cost configurations that may not be necessary for the workload mix. In consolidated environments, that balance can translate into fewer bottlenecks, better VM density, and more consistent service levels. Ideal For Virtualization hosts running mixed VM densities Database servers requiring sustained multi-core throughput Cisco UCS compute nodes in enterprise clusters Application servers consolidated behind shared storage Why This Product 1 More cores than entry-level Xeon options for better VM density 2 Lower base clock than frequency-first CPUs, but stronger parallel throughput 3 35.75 MB cache helps reduce latency under mixed server load 4 150 W TDP suits controlled enterprise chassis cooling
