12-core Opteron 6348 upgrade for ProLiant DL385p
The HPE 703952-B21 is a refurbished AMD Opteron 6300 series processor with twelve cores running at 2.80 GHz. It uses the Socket G34 LGA-1944 interface and is built on 32 nm process technology. The part is validated for the HP ProLiant DL385p Gen8 server.
Suits administrators refreshing a DL385p Gen8.
This processor fits only systems that accept a Socket G34 LGA-1944 CPU with a 115 W thermal design power. Buyers needing a different socket, a lower power envelope, or a newer microarchitecture cannot use this upgrade.
Socket G34 LGA-1944 with 115 W TDP decides fit
The processor requires a motherboard that provides the Socket G34 LGA-1944 interface and can dissipate 115 W. Confirm the server model and cooling capacity before ordering, as no other socket or power rating is compatible.
