HPE P36921-B21

Overview

The HPE P36921-B21 is a 12 core Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processor designed specifically for HPE server platforms. It operates at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz, providing consistent performance for everyday business workloads while maintaining a power-efficient 120 watt thermal design power. This processor is well suited for tasks such as virtualization, database management, and cloud computing, making it a solid choice for data centers, branch offices, and edge computing environments.

Key features

• 12 cores deliver balanced multi-threaded performance for a variety of server applications
• 18 MB of L3 cache reduces latency by keeping frequently accessed data close to the processor cores
• 120 W thermal design power helps manage energy consumption and cooling requirements effectively
• Supports DDR4 memory up to 2667 MT/s to maintain system responsiveness under heavy workloads
• Validated for seamless integration with HPE ProLiant servers, simplifying upgrades and new deployments

Compatibility and deployment

This processor is designed to fit into compatible HPE ProLiant server platforms, making it straightforward to install whether you are refreshing existing hardware or building new infrastructure. It supports both single and dual socket configurations, allowing IT teams to scale processing power according to workload demands. This flexibility makes it a practical option for virtual desktop infrastructure, file and print services, and departmental analytics.

Performance and efficiency

The combination of 12 cores and a substantial L3 cache ensures smooth handling of concurrent tasks and data-intensive operations. Its 120 watt power envelope balances performance with energy efficiency, which is critical for managing operational costs in data centers and smaller server rooms. The support for DDR4 memory at 2667 MT/s further enhances system responsiveness, especially under peak user demand.

Ideal uses and environments

This processor fits well in environments where reliable, steady performance is needed without excessive power consumption. It is a strong choice for IT teams managing virtualization, cloud workloads, or business-critical applications in edge racks, branch offices, and compact server setups. Its scalability and compatibility with HPE servers make it suitable for organizations looking to modernize infrastructure while controlling budget and energy use.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
