Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ 64c/128t 1.9GHz-3.9GHz 350W (PK8072205511800)

Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ Processor for Large-Scale HPC and Enterprise Compute Systems

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ is one of the highest-capacity CPUs within the Emerald Rapids family, designed for environments that demand extreme parallel throughput, massive memory scaling, and predictable performance under continuous heavy load. With 64 cores and 128 threads, it is engineered for hyperscale infrastructures, advanced HPC deployments, AI-accelerated compute nodes, and multi-socket enterprise systems where efficiency and reliability are critical.

At its architectural foundation, the 8592+ benefits from the refinements introduced in Emerald Rapids: a denser L3 cache structure, reduced core-to-core latency through an improved mesh interconnect, and enhanced handling of NUMA-aware workloads. These improvements directly impact real-world scenarios such as distributed analytics engines, AI inference clusters, and large virtualization farms where thousands of concurrent processes interact with shared data structures.

Running at a 1.9 GHz base frequency and boosting up to 3.9 GHz, the processor is optimized for high parallelism while still maintaining responsive processing for control-plane operations and latency-bound services. This balance is essential in datacenters running a combination of batch workloads, multi-tenant cloud environments, and long-running scientific computations that require consistent performance over hours or days.

One of the defining strengths of the 8592+ is its massive L3 cache footprint, which significantly lowers memory-access latency during high-density processing. Workloads such as in-memory analytics, complex simulation frameworks, genomic alignment tools, risk evaluation systems, and large-scale financial modeling benefit from the increased cache residency and reduced cross-core data contention. Emerald Rapids’ redesigned cache architecture also minimizes overhead in heavily threaded scenarios where traditional L3 structures struggle with coherence traffic.

Memory bandwidth is equally impressive. With support for 8-channel DDR5 memory up to 5600 MT/s and total capacities reaching 4 TB per socket, the Xeon Platinum 8592+ is engineered for memory-bound workloads. Applications such as graph-analytics clusters, real-time AI inference systems, high-concurrency virtualization and container orchestration, and large SQL/NoSQL in-memory databases benefit from DDR5’s higher throughput and improved efficiency.

Connectivity is another key differentiator. The processor exposes 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes, enabling system architects to design heterogeneous nodes incorporating AI accelerators, FPGA modules, SmartNICs, high-bandwidth NVMe fabrics, or computational storage solutions. PCIe 5.0’s doubled transfer rate compared to PCIe 4.0 ensures that accelerator-driven workflows in generative AI, high-density inference, and scientific computing can scale without I/O constraints.

With a 350 W TDP, the 8592+ sits firmly in the high-performance segment. It requires enterprise-grade cooling and power delivery systems, but Emerald Rapids’ enhanced thermal-management logic ensures stable turbo frequencies under prolonged, full-socket workloads. In HPC centers, cloud platforms, or real-time analytics clusters—where compute nodes often operate at above 90% utilization—this stability is crucial for maintaining predictable job execution times.

The processor includes Intel’s full suite of accelerators: AMX for AI matrix workloads, QAT for encryption and compression, DSA for accelerated data movement, and IAA for analytic indexing and compression. These hardware engines offload specialized operations from general-purpose cores, enabling higher throughput and improved energy efficiency.

Within the Emerald Rapids lineup, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ stands out as a processor built for scale: massive multicore compute density, extensive memory bandwidth, accelerator-driven performance, and robust I/O capabilities. It is ideal for hyperscale cloud deployments, enterprise HPC clusters, AI-ready datacenters, and mission-critical infrastructure requiring continuous, high-volume compute capability.
