HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 Processors

Genuine HPE-qualified Intel Xeon Scalable processors for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11, new and refurbished, alongside the heat sink kits the platform's cooling depends on. The Gen11 supports two CPU generations in the same model line: 4th Generation (up to 60 cores, DDR5-4800) and 5th Generation (up to 64 cores, DDR5-5600).

DL380 Gen11 Processor Specifications

• Families: 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Silver 4410Y through Platinum 8490H) and 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Silver 4509Y through Platinum 8592+/8593Q), one or two sockets
• Range: 8 cores / 2.6GHz (4509Y) and 3.9GHz / 8 cores (6534) up to 64 cores (8592+, 8592V, 8593Q), 125W–385W
• Memory support: the CPU generation sets the DDR5 grade — 4800 MT/s on 4th Gen, 5600 MT/s on most 5th Gen models (some V-series models run 4800)
• Compatibility rule that matters: the firmware for 5th Gen processors is not compatible with DL380 Gen11 system boards that shipped with 4th Gen CPUs — a 5th Gen upgrade is not a casual drop-in on an early-build server
• Cooling: Standard and Max Performance heat sink kits, matched to CPU TDP and configuration

Board generation matters for 5th Gen upgrades. The firmware for 5th Generation Xeon processors is not compatible with DL380 Gen11 system boards that shipped with 4th Gen CPUs — verify your build before ordering newer silicon, keep both sockets identical, and order heat sink kits separately.

Which processors does the DL380 Gen11 support?

High clocks with low core counts (6434 at 3.7GHz, 6534 at 3.9GHz) suit per-core database licensing; the 48–64 core Platinum parts are the consolidation engines. Two 8592+ processors put 128 cores in 2U. Processors ship without heat sinks — add the kit matching your configuration.

Choosing the Right DL380 Gen11 Processors

• Both processors must be identical — buy matched pairs, and match the existing CPU exactly when adding a second.
• Check the board generation before a 5th Gen upgrade: 5th Gen firmware doesn't run on boards shipped with 4th Gen CPUs — confirm compatibility before ordering the newer silicon.
• The CPU sets your memory speed: pair 4th Gen with DDR5-4800 kits and 5th Gen with DDR5-5600 — see DL380 Gen11 memory.
• License-bound workloads: the 8-core 6434 (3.7GHz) and 6534 (3.9GHz) exist precisely so Oracle/SQL per-core licensing stays sane.

DL380 Gen11 Processors FAQ

What processors does the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 support?
4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Silver 4410Y through Platinum 8490H, up to 60 cores) and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Silver 4509Y through Platinum 8592+ and 8593Q, up to 64 cores), in one- or two-socket configurations.

What is the maximum core count of the DL380 Gen11?
128 cores - two 64-core 5th Gen Platinum processors (8592+, 8592V, or the liquid-cooled 8593Q). On 4th Gen, two 60-core 8490H processors deliver 120 cores.

Can I upgrade a 4th Gen DL380 Gen11 to 5th Gen processors?
Not as a simple swap - HPE notes that the firmware required for 5th Gen processors is not compatible with DL380 Gen11 system boards that shipped with 4th Gen CPUs. Verify your server's build before ordering 5th Gen silicon.

Do DL380 Gen11 processors come with heat sinks?
No - HPE's processor SKUs ship as the processor only. Order the heat sink kit matching your configuration - Standard for mainstream TDPs, Max Performance for the hottest parts and demanding configurations.

Which DL380 Gen11 processor is best for database licensing?
The 8-core parts with the highest clocks: the 4th Gen Xeon-Gold 6434 at 3.7GHz or the 5th Gen 6534 at 3.9GHz - maximum per-core performance with minimum licensed cores.

Do both processors in a DL380 Gen11 need to match?
Yes - both sockets must carry the identical processor model. When adding a second CPU to a single-socket build, order the exact model already installed.
