HP Exam HPE0-V26 Topic 4 Question 9 Discussion

Core Boosting technology uses a relaxed and optimized turbo profile that adapts the processor to specific use cases, configurations, and environments. Core Boosting processors take advantage of extra server power and thermal headroom provided by an innovative HPE voltage regulator design and by cooling technologies. Consequently, systems that have Core Boosting processors can alleviate common setbacks and maximize processor computing power.

However, Core Boosting option is only supported in ProLiant Gen10 servers with certain Intel processors1.The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server data sheet2lists the supported processors for Core Boosting as:

Intel Xeon Gold 6148 Processor (20 core, 2.4 GHz, 27.5 MB L3 cache)

Intel Xeon Gold 6154 Processor (18 core, 3.0 GHz, 24.75 MB L3 cache)

Intel Xeon Gold 6152 Processor (22 core, 2.1 GHz, 30.25 MB L3 cache)

Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 Processor (24 core, 2.7 GHz, 33 MB L3 cache)

Therefore, if your customer's DL380 Gen10 servers are running workloads on more active cores at higher clock frequencies, they can benefit from Core Boosting technology if they have one of these supported Intel processors.
