Intel · Xeon Silver · 2019 · LGA3647
The Intel Xeon Silver 4214Y is a server processor with 12 cores, released in 2019 at an MSRP of $768. It is part of the Xeon Silver lineup, using the Xeon Scalable platform, and fits the LGA3647 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Cascade Lake" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 24 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon Silver 4214Y has a base clock of 2.2 GHz and can boost up to 3.2 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Cascade Lake" silicon on a 14nm process node. This processor supports DDR4 memory across 6 channels, up to 1TB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 85W, the Xeon Silver 4214Y sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 16.5MB of L3 cache.
Carries Intel's 'Y' suffix for Speed Select Technology at the Silver tier, allowing dynamic core/frequency reconfiguration post-deployment.
