Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 Server Processor
Power your data center or workstation server with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 — a high-performance 24-core, 48-thread processor built for demanding server workloads. With a 2.1GHz base clock, 33MB Intel Smart Cache, and support for DDR4 memory across 4 channels, this CPU delivers the throughput needed for virtualization, cloud computing, HPC, and enterprise applications.
This is a pull from a working machine (slight surface scratches may be present). Every unit is double-tested before shipping to ensure full functionality and reliable performance.
Note on Origin: CPUs are sourced from various countries including China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Costa Rica. The origin may vary per unit, but performance is identical across all. Made in Mainland China (origin may vary by unit — see note above).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 compatible with my existing server motherboard?
A: The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 uses the LGA 3647 socket and is compatible with Intel Purley platform server motherboards (e.g., those using the Intel C620 series chipset). Always verify your motherboard's CPU compatibility list (QVL) before purchasing.
Q: Does this CPU come with a cooling solution?
A: No, a cooling system is not included. You will need a compatible server-grade heatsink or active cooling solution rated for LGA 3647 and at least 150W TDP. Most 1U/2U server chassis use proprietary heatsinks — check your chassis compatibility.
Q: What condition is this processor in?
A: This is a pull from a working machine, meaning it has been previously used in a server environment. Minor surface scratches may be visible, but every unit is double-tested for full functionality before shipment to ensure reliable operation.
Q: What memory type and speed does the Xeon Platinum 8160 support?
A: The Xeon Platinum 8160 supports DDR4 ECC Registered (RDIMM) and LRDIMM memory across up to 6 memory channels (up to 768GB total). It is optimized for high-bandwidth server memory configurations common in enterprise deployments.
