OpenMetal Medium v4 Intel Xeon Processor

Q: What Intel Xeon processor does the OpenMetal Medium v4 use?

The Medium v4 uses dual Intel Xeon Silver 4510 processors, providing 24 cores and 48 threads across two sockets at 2.4 GHz base and 4.1 GHz max turbo frequency.

The Silver 4510 belongs to Intel’s 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Sapphire Rapids) [VERIFY generation], fabricated on Intel 7. Each processor provides 12 cores with Hyper-Threading, 30 MB of L3 cache , and a 150W TDP . The dual-socket configuration delivers 60 MB of aggregate L3 cache across 24 physical cores, with inter-socket UPI links for NUMA-aware workload placement.

OpenMetal selected the Silver 4510 as the entry-level dual-socket processor for the Medium tier. Compared to the Gold 6526Y in the Large v4 (16 cores per socket, 2.8/3.9 GHz), the Silver 4510 trades per-core clock speed and core count for lower power consumption and cost. The 4.1 GHz turbo is competitive for single-threaded burst workloads like database queries and web request handling.

The processor supports PCIe 5.0 80 lanes per socket for high-bandwidth connections to the Micron 7500 MAX NVMe drive and LACP-bonded network adapters. AVX-512 is available for vectorized floating-point compute. Intel AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions) is available on the Silver 4510 .
