HPE 819841-B21 Intel Xeon E5 2660 v4 Processor Kit

HPE 819841-B21 Intel Xeon E5 2660 v4 Processor Kit

Overview

The HPE 819841‑B21 is a factory‑kit processor targeted at enterprise rack and blade servers (notably the ProLiant BL460c Gen9 series). It features the Intel Xeon E5‑2660 v4 processor with 14 physical cores, a base clock of 2.0 GHz, 35 MB Smart Cache, and a 105 W TDP. This combination gives a balance of core‑density and power efficiency in a well‑proven Gen9 platform.For an IT operations team managing virtualization hosts or high‑thread‑count application servers, this part allows reuse of existing chassis and infrastructure while boosting CPU concurrency. Because it supports the LGA2011‑v3 socket and the associated Broadwell‑EP architecture, it's compatible with many dual‑socket Gen9 servers, enabling a cost‑effective refresh path.In practical deployment, one would install this kit into a compatible HPE ProLiant server (blade or rack), ensure proper cooling and BIOS/firmware support, and then proceed to populate memory and I/O to match the workload. It’s ideal for scenarios where many VMs or multi‑threaded applications run and where you want to extend the life of existing Gen9 hardware rather than doing a full platform migration.With its 14‑core count and Broadwell‑EP architecture, the 819841‑B21 is a solid choice for compute‑heavy but still cost‑sensitive deployments within enterprise or service‑provider environments.

Key Features

• 14 physical cores / 28 threads for high concurrency in virtualization or multi‑tenant workloads.

• 2.0 GHz base clock with turbo capability (~3.2 GHz) for mixed single‑thread and multi‑thread performance.

• 35 MB Smart Cache shared across cores, reducing latency in high‑thread scenarios.

• 105 W TDP keeps rack power and cooling costs manageable in dense deployments.

• Compatible with LGA2011‑v3 socket and HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers (e.g., BL460c Gen9) — enabling upgrade without full chassis replacement.
