Confirm the socket against your motherboard's CPU support list - Intel Xeon Scalable spans LGA 3647 (1st/2nd gen), LGA 4189 (3rd gen Ice Lake), and LGA 4677 (4th/5th gen Sapphire/Emerald Rapids). A BIOS update is often required for newer steppings even on the same socket. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your motherboard model for a compatibility check.
How fast does the 224-5773 ship?
If in stock, the 224-5773 ships same business day on US orders placed before 3 pm ET. Most US ZIP codes receive next-business-day or 2-day delivery via FedEx/UPS Ground or Express. Bulk and project orders shipping in pallets are typically dispatched within 24-48 hours.
The 224-5773 is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
VMware vSphere ESXi 8 Host — Per-CPU core count drives VVF/VCF licensing cost — choose 16–24 cores for cost-optimal density unless workload is core-bound.
Hyper-V Cluster Node — Windows Server Datacenter licenses by core, but Hyper-V scales linearly. Higher-clock, mid-core SKUs win for transactional workloads.
Citrix VDI Pool — Frequency-sensitive — prefer high-clock 16–18 core SKUs over high-core-count parts to maintain user-perceived snappiness.
Kubernetes / Tanzu Workers — Higher core count amortises better across many small Pods. EVC mode planning matters for live-migrate parity.
What is the 224-5773?
The 224-5773 is a Dell server-class processor with clock speed 2.5 GHz and cache 6MB L3, manufactured by Dell. Pro Disk Network ships this part new and certified-refurbished from our US warehouse with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 3 PM ET, backed by a 30-day return guarantee.
Pros & Cons of 224-5773
Pros
Lower cost than the manufacturer channel for refresh cycles
Matched-pair option for dual-socket consistency
Sequential serial numbers on bulk orders for cluster builds
Cons
Server-grade thermal load — confirm cooler rating before installation
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every 224-5773 as factory-original Dell inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned Dell servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.

Socket Compatibility, EVC Mode, and BIOS Revision Planning
Choosing the 224-5773 for a server upgrade or replacement starts with socket compatibility. CPU sockets are tied to motherboard chipsets and revisions; a board that supports Skylake-SP may or may not support Cascade Lake-SP depending on BIOS. Before ordering, look up the motherboard QVL (qualified vendor list) and confirm the 224-5773 appears with a supported BIOS version. If the BIOS needs an update, plan the flash before swapping CPUs — many systems will not POST long enough to flash with the wrong CPU installed.
AI Workloads, AMX, and the Inference Performance Story
For dedicated AI inference hosts, prioritize core count over clock speed. INT8 inference is bandwidth-bound, not frequency-bound, so a 32-core part at 2.5 GHz outperforms a 16-core part at 3.5 GHz on most LLM workloads. For mixed virtualisation + occasional inference workloads, prioritize clock speed — VDI and OLTP database workloads benefit from the higher frequency.
