338-BLNZ Dell 2.50GHz 28-Core 10.4GT/s UPI 38.5MB

Product Overview:

The Dell 338-BLNZ processor features an ultra-high-performance 28-core Intel Xeon CPU, engineered for cutting-edge server workloads including AI, virtualization, HPC, and enterprise data centers. With a base clock of 2.50GHz, 38.5MB of SmartCache, and a 10.4 GT/s UPI (Ultra Path Interconnect), this CPU delivers massive multi-threaded throughput and fast interconnect speeds across multiple sockets.

Likely based on the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 or similar from the Cascade Lake or Skylake-SP generation, this processor is designed to thrive in multi-CPU Dell PowerEdge platforms. With 56 threads via Hyper-Threading and AVX-512 support, it’s ideal for compute-heavy applications like in-memory databases, analytics, machine learning, and virtualization farms.
