HPE Intel Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12 Core Processor Kit

The HPE 826852-B21 is a processor kit built for administrators who want to unlock the full dual-socket potential of an HPE ProLiant DL380 or DL388 Gen10 server. At its core sits the Intel Xeon Silver 4116, a 12-core processor that runs at 2.1 GHz and carries 16.5 MB of shared cache. When you drop this second CPU into an existing single-processor system, you double the available cores, expand memory bandwidth across another set of channels, and give demanding workloads more headroom without changing the server chassis.

This kit is practical for virtualization hosts that juggle many virtual machines, database servers that benefit from additional parallel threads, or file and print services that need consistent throughput during peak hours. Because the Xeon Silver 4116 operates within an 85 W thermal design, it adds processing power while keeping the power envelope moderate—an advantage in dense racks where every watt matters.

HPE includes the parts you need for a clean, manufacturer-approved installation. The standard heatsink mates precisely with the DL380 and DL388 Gen10 mounting points, and the two Gen10 fan modules restore balanced airflow once the new CPU is in place. You avoid guesswork, preserve warranty compliance, and return the server to production quickly.
