Intel Xeon Silver 4116 12-core LGA 3647
With 12 Skylake cores and a modest 85W TDP, this processor delivers efficient multi-threaded throughput for dual-socket LGA 3647 platforms. Its 16.5MB L3 cache and low 2.1GHz base clock prioritize consistent, power-conscious operation over peak single-thread speed. This chip is best for IT administrators scaling out virtualized environments or lightweight database servers where core density per watt matters more than raw frequency.
