INTEL Xeon 8160 2.10GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 8160 is a 24-core, 48-thread processor from the first-generation Xeon Scalable family (Skylake microarchitecture), aimed at buyers consolidating virtualization hosts, compute clusters, or storage nodes on the LGA 3647 platform. Its 2-socket scalability and 48 PCIe lanes make it well suited to dense workload hosting where I/O expansion matters. Note that LGA 3647 platforms often require specific VRM and cooling support for 150 W parts, so verify motherboard compatibility before ordering.
Key specifications (table)

Good to know
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard with firmware support for Skylake-generation Scalable CPUs; not pin-compatible with later Cascade Lake-SP boards without BIOS validation, so confirm your platform’s supported CPU list.
- Within the first-generation Xeon Scalable stack, the 8160 sits in the Gold tier, offering higher core counts than Bronze/Silver parts while remaining below Platinum SKUs — a common sweet spot for virtualization and AVX-512-capable compute nodes.
- For dual-socket builds, pair identical SKUs and populate all six DDR4-2666 channels per CPU to realize the full 85.6 GB/s memory bandwidth; confirm RAM and heatsink availability when budgeting the upgrade.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
