Server Processors

When choosing the right processor for your server, several factors should be taken into consideration, including the server's workload and the applications that it will be running, the number of cores and threads required, the processor's clock speed, and the processor's cache size. It's important to choose a processor that can handle the server's workload and applications, with sufficient processing power and cache size to ensure efficient data management and task execution.

If you’re trying to find a replacement processor or perhaps a second processor to install in your server, it’s important you select the correct part to ensure compatibility. Consult the technical literature available from the manufacturer which should specify the part number(s) you need to order as only specific processor parts will work and these will vary based on the server model and its associated specifications. To avoid any potential warranty issues, avoid mixing processor brands, even if the specs are seemingly identical. A HPE processor will only be warrantied to work in specific HPE servers, it’s not designated to be installed in a Dell server for example.
