Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 24 Cores 48 Threads 3.7GHz P (LGA 3647) CD8067303327701 Server CPU

High-Performance Server CPU for LGA3647 Platforms featuring Scalable UPI Fabric with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8168

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 (SKU CD8067303327701) is a tray server processor designed for LGA3647 Skylake-SP systems where predictable CPU throughput, high memory capacity, and platform scaling are primary architectural requirements. It targets dense virtualization hosts, scale-up database nodes, and technical compute clusters that must remain aligned with established DDR4 and PCIe 3.0 infrastructure.

In multi-socket designs, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 uses 3 UPI links to support configurations up to 8 sockets, enabling larger coherent memory domains and higher aggregate core density per node. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 supports ECC DDR4 up to 2666 MT/s with capacity up to 768 GB, making it suitable for memory-resident analytics and consolidation where NUMA-aware placement and bandwidth balance are critical. With up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 provides stable I/O for storage controllers, high-speed networking, and accelerator attachment without forcing redesign to newer PCIe generations.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon Platinum 8168?

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 delivers a strong density-to-performance profile for enterprise fleets that rely on validated LGA3647 platforms and require consistent scaling across 1P to 8P deployments. It combines high core count, large cache, and mature virtualization features to reduce host count, preserve operational uniformity, and maintain deterministic behavior under mixed workloads.

Intel engineers the Xeon platform around long lifecycle support, platform validation with Intel C621/C622/C624/C627/C628 chipsets, and enterprise-grade RAS and security capabilities such as VT-x, VT-d, EPT, AES-NI, and TXT. This design approach supports standardized qualification processes and predictable integration into modern data centre operational models.

Key Applications:

• Private cloud and dense virtualization clusters
• In-memory databases and OLTP/OLAP
• Enterprise analytics and data warehousing
• HPC and technical computing with AVX-512
• High-throughput storage and networking nodes
