When to choose the Platinum 8490H
In Intel’s line-up this processor sits in Intel’s top server tier, aimed at the most demanding, high-core-count workloads. With 60 cores on the FCLGA4677 platform it suits dense virtualisation, databases and high-throughput compute, and its 350 W TDP sets the cooling and power budget for the node.
Platform & compatibility
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8490H uses the FCLGA4677 socket on S8S platforms, supports Up to DDR5 4800 MT/s 1DPC Up to DDR5 4400 MT/s 2DPC Up to DDR5 4400 MT/s 2DPC, with up to 8 memory channels, and up to 4 TB of memory, provides PCI Express 5.0 (80 lanes). Confirm the exact OEM platform, BIOS level and memory population for your workload before ordering.
Deployment notes
The Platinum 8490H installs in a FCLGA4677 platform with up to 8 memory channels and up to 4 TB of memory. Intel AMX accelerates INT8 and BF16 AI inference directly on the CPU. Intel SGX provides application enclaves. Intel QuickAssist (QAT) offloads compression and cryptography (4 default devices). It is launched as part of 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and is intended for dense virtualisation, databases and high-throughput compute.
