Sourced for enterprise IT teams, the Intel SR2PC (SR2PC - Intel Core i7-6850K 6-Core 3.60GHz 15MB Cache Socket FCLGA2011-3 Processor) is a Intel Unboxed Processors component appropriate for new-build, expansion, or warranty-replacement procurement. Technical specifications include clock speed of 3.60 GHz, cache of 15MB, socket of FCLGA2011. Workload fit covers VMware ESXi virtualization hosts (vCPU density), SQL Server / Oracle database licensing optimization (per-core), Kubernetes container density, and HPC compute-node provisioning. Pro Disk Network sources the SR2PC through reputable distribution channels and applies a verification check against the OEM compatibility matrix before each unit is added to active inventory. Each unit ships from a US fulfillment hub (Hillsboro OR, Atlanta GA, or Phoenix AZ) with same-day dispatch on in-stock orders before 3pm ET. 90-day Pro Disk Network functional warranty included; free US ground shipping on orders over $150.
The SR2PC is a Intel intel unboxed processors component with clock speed 3.60 GHz, cache 15MB, socket FCLGA2011. Pro Disk Network sells the SR2PC for $542.89 with same-day US shipping and a 30-day return guarantee.
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 SR2PC ship?
Pro Disk Network dispatches the SR2PC same-day on orders confirmed before 3 pm ET. Multi-pallet projects requiring crating ship within 2 business days. International shipping (Canada, Mexico, EU, APAC) takes 3-7 business days via DHL Express or FedEx International Priority.
The SR2PC 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.
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.
AI Inference Host — Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids include AMX silicon for INT8 inference acceleration — meaningful uplift for BERT, ResNet, and LLM serving.
What is the SR2PC?
The SR2PC is a Intel server-class processor with clock speed 3.60 GHz and cache 15MB, manufactured by Intel. 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 SR2PC
Pros
Same-day shipping from our US warehouse cuts deployment lead time
Cons
Server-grade thermal load — confirm cooler rating before installation
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every SR2PC as factory-original Intel inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned Intel servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.
What socket does the SR2PC use?
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 SR2PC ship?
Pro Disk Network dispatches the SR2PC same-day on orders confirmed before 3 pm ET. Multi-pallet projects requiring crating ship within 2 business days. International shipping (Canada, Mexico, EU, APAC) takes 3-7 business days via DHL Express or FedEx International Priority.
What is the warranty on the SR2PC?
New SR2PC units carry the full Intel manufacturer warranty (typically 1 to 5 years depending on product line). Refurbished and bulk-OEM units include a Pro Disk Network advance-replacement warranty (90 days refurbished). DOA replacement is free within 30 days of receipt.

Pro Disk Network Buyer’s Guide: Intel Unboxed Processors
Socket Compatibility, EVC Mode, and BIOS Revision Planning
For Hyper-V clusters, Live Migration compatibility is more forgiving but still benefits from matched CPU stepping across cluster nodes. For Kubernetes / Tanzu, CPU heterogeneity is acceptable because pods are stateless, but resource-request planning becomes harder when nodes have different core counts.
AI Workloads, AMX, and the Inference Performance Story
Late-generation Intel Xeon processors (Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids) include AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions) silicon that accelerates INT8 inference workloads dramatically. For the SR2PC, if AMX is present, BERT-base inference throughput improves 4-6× over the previous generation; LLM inference (Llama 2 7B INT8 quantised) improves 2-3×. AMX does not require code changes when used through libraries that already support it (oneAPI, ONNX Runtime, OpenVINO).
