About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 is a high-core-count server processor built for LGA3647 systems that need strong parallel processing capability and dependable platform support. With 24 cores and 48 threads, it is well suited to workloads that benefit from multiple execution threads, including virtualization, database tasks, analytics, and general enterprise server use. Its 2.10GHz base clock and 3.70GHz turbo clock provide a balanced mix of baseline throughput and responsive burst performance, while the 33MB Smart Cache helps support efficient data access during active workloads. As part of the Intel Xeon Platinum family, this processor is intended for environments where stability, scalability, and consistent compute resources are important. The combination of DDR4-2666 memory support and PCIe 3.0 compatibility makes it a practical fit for server builds that require broad platform integration and reliable expansion options.
Performance & Scalability
Designed for multi-threaded server workloads, the Xeon Platinum 8160 offers the core density needed to support demanding applications and consolidated infrastructure. The 24-core, 48-thread configuration can help improve throughput in environments that run multiple services at once, making it a strong option for virtualization hosts, application servers, and compute-heavy deployments. The 150W TDP reflects the processor’s performance class and should be considered when planning cooling and power delivery for compatible systems. Support for DDR4-2666 memory helps maintain efficient data movement between the processor and system memory, while PCIe 3.0 support allows the platform to work with a wide range of expansion devices. For organizations building or maintaining LGA3647-based servers, this CPU provides a capable foundation for workloads that need both thread count and platform flexibility.
Storage Flexibility
Although this product is a processor rather than a storage device, its PCIe 3.0 support and server-class platform compatibility contribute to flexible system design. In a properly configured LGA3647 server, the CPU can work alongside storage controllers, NVMe solutions, and other expansion hardware that rely on PCIe connectivity. This makes it easier to build systems that align storage performance with workload requirements, whether the goal is fast access for active data or dependable capacity for business applications. The processor’s memory support also helps the system handle data-intensive tasks efficiently, which can be important when storage performance is tied closely to overall server responsiveness.
Why Choose This Product?
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 is a strong choice for buyers looking for a server CPU with substantial core and thread resources, established platform support, and compatibility with enterprise-oriented hardware. It is a practical option for upgrading or maintaining LGA3647 systems where multi-threaded performance matters. The combination of 24 cores, 48 threads, DDR4-2666 support, and PCIe 3.0 compatibility makes it suitable for a range of server deployments that need dependable compute capacity without unnecessary complexity. For IT teams, resellers, and system builders working with Intel Xeon infrastructure, this processor offers a clear balance of performance features and platform integration.
About this processor
Intel Xeon Platinum 8160, a 24 core, 48 thread LGA3647 processor at 2.10GHz with 3.70GHz turbo, 33MB cache and DDR4-2666 support, refurbished. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The Xeon Platinum 8160 is a 24 core processor from the top tier of Intel's first generation Xeon Scalable family. It offers 48 threads at a 2.10GHz base and 3.70GHz turbo, 33MB of cache, six channels of DDR4-2666 memory and 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes at a 150W rating, in the LGA3647 socket. Two of them give a 14th generation Dell or Gen10 HPE server 48 cores and 96 threads, close to the maximum the platform allows.
Buyers in Qatar choose the refurbished 8160 for consolidation: fewer, denser virtualisation hosts, large analytics jobs and in-memory databases where core count per socket is the deciding figure. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock for those builds.

Part numbers and identification
Platinum 8100 series numbers mark first generation top tier parts. Buyers search for "Xeon Platinum 8160", "8160 CPU" and "Platinum 8160 24 core".
| SKU | CPU-INTEL-XEON-8160 |
| Model | Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 |
| Family | Xeon Scalable, first generation, Platinum 8100 series |
Specification
The numbers below describe a processor built for throughput: many cores, a large cache and a moderate clock. It is the first generation's answer to consolidating several older servers onto one.
| Cores | 24 |
| Threads | 48 |
| Base clock | 2.10GHz |
| Turbo clock | 3.70GHz |
| Smart Cache | 33MB |
| Socket | LGA3647 |
| TDP | 150W |
| Memory support | DDR4-2666, six channels |
| PCIe | PCIe 3.0, 48 lanes |
Workloads that use it well include virtualisation clusters with high consolidation ratios, analytics and data warehousing, and scientific codes that scale across cores. Workloads that do not include per core licensed databases, where the licence cost of 24 cores outweighs the gain, and single threaded applications, which see only the 3.70GHz turbo of one core.
In a two socket server the Platinum tier's extra interconnect links go unused, so the practical difference from a Gold part is the core count and the larger cache; the 8160 is bought for its 24 cores. At 150W it needs the high performance heatsink in most 1U chassis and the chassis must be rated for that wattage. Memory bandwidth per core is lower than on a twelve core part, so fill all six channels per socket.
Installation
A first generation server accepts the 8160 without a firmware change. Mount the processor in its carrier on a 150W rated heatsink, lower onto the LGA3647 socket and tighten in the marked order; check the fan configuration the vendor specifies for processors of this wattage, since some chassis need additional or higher speed fans. Pair only with an identical 8160.
