P05701-L21, HPE DL580 Gen10 Server, Intel Xeon-Gold 6248/2.5GHz/20-core

The HPE P05701-L21 is a high-performance server processor option designed for the HPE DL580 Gen10 enterprise server platform. Built on the Intel Xeon Gold 6248 architecture, it targets data center, virtualization, and mission-critical workloads where consistent performance and reliability are essential. With 20 cores running at a base frequency of 2.5 GHz, this 64-bit CPU delivers strong multi-threaded capacity for consolidation of databases, business applications, and private cloud services across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. The processor supports 6 memory channels and memory speeds up to 2933 MT/s, enabling high bandwidth for memory-intensive tasks such as in-memory analytics and large virtual machine farms. A 27.5 MB cache helps reduce latency for frequently accessed data, improving responsiveness for line-of-business and transaction-heavy systems.

The P05701-L21 is offered as an FIO (Factory Integrated Only) kit, ensuring correct installation, firmware alignment, and thermal optimization directly from HPE manufacturing. This reduces risk for distributors and system integrators, and simplifies deployment for end customers who require predictable performance out of the box. With a 150 W TDP and support for HPE standard cooling solutions, the processor is engineered to run reliably in dense rack environments and large enterprise data centers, while staying within planned power and cooling envelopes. For medium and large system integrators, this makes capacity planning easier when designing multi-socket DL580 Gen10 configurations.

Advanced Intel technologies further extend the value of the P05701-L21 in modern virtualized and cloud-ready infrastructures. Intel Turbo Boost Technology provides additional headroom by automatically increasing clock speeds on active cores when thermal and power conditions allow, which is ideal for bursty workloads and mixed application stacks. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology increases thread density per socket, allowing more virtual machines or application instances to run in parallel on the same hardware. For virtualization and cloud deployments, Intel VT-x and VT-d support more secure and efficient virtual machine management and direct I/O assignment, helping service providers and enterprise IT teams optimize performance while maintaining isolation and control.

Security is reinforced with Intel AES New Instructions and Intel Secure Key, which enhance hardware-based encryption and key generation for sensitive workloads such as financial services, healthcare, and government applications. This suits organizations that must meet compliance requirements while maintaining high throughput on encrypted traffic and secure transactions. Because the P05701-L21 is fully compatible with HPE DL580 Gen10 servers and HPE server sockets, it integrates smoothly into existing HPE environments, making it easier for distributors, resellers, and end users to scale CPU capacity without redesigning the entire infrastructure. Across global markets, from regional data centers to multinational enterprises, the HPE P05701-L21 offers a balanced combination of core density, memory bandwidth, and security features for demanding server workloads.
