The Intel® Xeon® E‑2486 is a 6‑core, 12‑thread Xeon E‑2400 series processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture and built on Intel 7 (10 nm class) technology for single‑socket LGA1700 servers and workstations. It runs at a 3.50 GHz base frequency with Turbo Boost up to 5.60 GHz, has 18 MB of L3 cache, a 95 W TDP, and a 16 GT/s DMI/PCIe bus, giving strong single‑thread performance for small business servers and entry workstations.
For memory and I/O, the Xeon E‑2486 supports up to 128 GB of DDR5‑4800 ECC memory across 2 channels and provides 20 lanes of PCI Express 5.0, suitable for fast NVMe storage, 10/25 GbE adapters, and other peripherals in compact systems. Virtualization features such as Intel VT‑x with EPT and VT‑d, plus reliability features like ECC support, make it a good fit as a 3.5 GHz, 6‑core, 95 W FIO option in HPE ProLiant Gen11 platforms for roles like domain controllers, light virtualization hosts, file/print, and small database servers.
