Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L Cisco UCS-CPU-I8280L= 28-Core 2.7 GHz | Enterprise — UCS-CPU-I8280L=

Keep high-density infrastructure moving with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L for Cisco UCS platforms. Built around 28 cores and a 2.7 GHz base clock, this processor is designed for workloads that need steady parallel performance rather than burst-only speed. The 38.50 MB cache helps reduce latency on active data sets, while DDR4 support at 2,933 MHz and up to 4.5 TB of memory capacity provide the headroom required for large in-memory applications and heavily consolidated virtual environments. At 205 W, this CPU is aimed at servers engineered for sustained enterprise load, where thermal design, power delivery, and platform validation matter as much as raw core count. It fits organizations standardizing on Cisco UCS hardware and looking to extend the life of existing compute nodes without compromising density or memory scale. For teams running virtualization clusters, analytics platforms, or database tiers, the 8280L offers the kind of balanced compute profile that justifies premium server investment. Ideal For Virtualization hosts in Cisco UCS blade and rack servers Database servers requiring high core density and large memory capacity In-memory analytics nodes with heavy DDR4 bandwidth demands Enterprise consolidation platforms replacing multiple lower-core servers Why This Product 1 Higher core count than entry server CPUs for denser consolidation 2 Large 38.50 MB cache helps active workloads stay responsive 3 4.5 TB memory ceiling supports larger in-memory deployments 4 Cisco UCS validation reduces platform risk in enterprise rollouts
