Lenovo 4XG7A07224 SR570 Xeon 3104 6C/85W/1.7GHZ

Lenovo 4XG7A07224 Xeon Bronze 3104 6-Core Processor for SR570

Overview

The Lenovo 4XG7A07224 is a factory-configured processor option for the ThinkSystem SR570 rack server, pairing a 1st Generation Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 with the SR570 platform for organizations that need reliable multi-threaded compute without overspecifying for lightly threaded or entry-level workloads. At 1.7 GHz base frequency across 6 cores, this 14 nm Skylake-generation part occupies the entry tier of the Xeon Scalable family — a deliberate fit for roles where thread count and energy budget matter more than raw clock speed. The cooler is included, which matters at the platform level: you are not hunting down a separate heatsink to complete the build.

For enterprise buyers evaluating server processor upgrades or configuring SR570 systems for branch office deployments, video management servers, or back-end infrastructure roles, the 4XG7A07224 provides a verified, platform-matched component sourced through Lenovo's commercial supply chain — factory-new, no grey-market, no parallel imports.

Key Features

• 6-Core, 6-Thread at 1.7 GHz: The Xeon Bronze 3104 runs 6 physical cores without hyperthreading — 6 threads total. In workloads like video management server (VMS) recording processes, NVR back-end services, or light virtualization, this maps cleanly to OS-level core assignments without the overhead of SMT scheduling. If your application is single-threaded-heavy, this is not the right tier; if you are distributing moderate parallel tasks, the core count is the value proposition.
• 85W Thermal Design Power: At 85W TDP, this processor fits within the SR570's thermal envelope without requiring upgraded cooling infrastructure. Compared to higher-frequency Xeon Silver and Gold options that can push 125–150W, the 85W budget translates directly to lower per-rack power draw and reduced heat load on your cooling system — meaningful in dense deployments or facilities with strict power caps per rack unit.
• 8.25 MB L3 Cache: The 8.25 MB shared L3 cache (approximately 1.375 MB per core) supports workloads that benefit from keeping frequently accessed data close to the compute units — relevant for database-adjacent tasks, caching layers, and streaming media pipelines where repeated data access patterns are common.
• LGA 3647 (Socket P) Platform: Designed for the LGA 3647 socket, this processor is platform-matched to SR570 motherboards supporting 1st Generation Xeon Scalable. This is not a drop-in for 2nd Generation (Cooper Lake/Cascade Lake) SR570 variants — verify your specific SR570 board revision before ordering.
• DDR4-SDRAM Support, Up to 768 GB: The memory controller supports DDR4-SDRAM with a platform ceiling of 768 GB addressable memory. For VMS workloads that rely heavily on RAM for frame buffering, analytics caching, or in-memory databases, the DDR4 support ensures modern memory module compatibility. Actual installed maximum depends on the SR570 DIMM slot configuration and memory population rules.
• 14 nm Skylake Architecture (Stepping U0): Built on Intel's 14 nm process at Stepping U0, this is a mature, production-stable silicon revision. U0 stepping addressed earlier errata present in B0/H0 steppings — relevant for enterprise buyers running long-cycle server infrastructure where microcode stability directly affects uptime.
• 64-bit Operating Mode: Full 64-bit instruction support is expected at this tier, but worth confirming explicitly for any legacy workload migration: no 32-bit OS limitations apply here.
• Cooler Included: The heatsink and retention hardware ship with the processor option, eliminating a common BOM gap when configuring or upgrading SR570 systems. Factor this into total system cost comparisons against third-party processor sourcing.

Integration & Compatibility

The 4XG7A07224 is a Lenovo-branded processor option specifically validated for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR570 platform. The SR570 is a 1U/2U rack server targeted at cloud, virtualization, and storage workloads — making this processor a natural fit for roles like network video recorder server builds, VMS back-end compute, or branch-office infrastructure where a single-socket platform with moderate core count is appropriate.

Compatibility is socket-bound: LGA 3647 (Socket P) with 1st Generation Xeon Scalable support. Integrators building or expanding rack server deployments should cross-reference the SR570 Hardware Maintenance Manual for processor compatibility matrices, especially if the target chassis may be a 2nd Generation SR570 variant. Mixed-generation processor insertion is not supported on this platform.

For memory configuration, the Xeon Bronze 3104 single-socket deployment supports up to 768 GB DDR4 — plan DIMM population around the SR570's 12-slot or 16-slot memory board configuration depending on chassis variant. Consult the datacenter infrastructure compatibility resources or Lenovo's ServerProven database for validated DIMM configurations before purchasing memory alongside this processor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What server platform is the Lenovo 4XG7A07224 designed for?

A: The 4XG7A07224 is validated for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR570 rack server platform. It installs into the LGA 3647 (Socket P) socket and is compatible with SR570 systems configured for 1st Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.

Q: Does the 4XG7A07224 include a heatsink or cooler?

A: Yes. The cooler is included with this processor option, so no separate heatsink purchase is required for standard SR570 deployments.

Q: How many cores and threads does the Xeon Bronze 3104 provide?

A: The Xeon Bronze 3104 delivers 6 cores and 6 threads — it does not support hyperthreading, so core count equals thread count. Base frequency is 1.7 GHz.

Q: Is the 4XG7A07224 compatible with 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable SR570 variants?

A: No. This is a 1st Generation Xeon Scalable (Skylake) processor. SR570 variants configured for 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake) use a different processor lineup and are not cross-compatible at the socket level despite sharing the LGA 3647 form factor.

Q: What is the maximum memory supported by the Xeon Bronze 3104?

A: The processor supports up to 768 GB of DDR4-SDRAM. Actual installed maximum is further constrained by the SR570 chassis DIMM slot count and Lenovo's validated memory configurations.

Q: What is the TDP of the Xeon Bronze 3104 in this configuration?

A: The Thermal Design Power is 85W, which fits within the SR570's standard thermal and power budget for single-processor configurations without requiring upgraded cooling infrastructure.

Karl Wilson

When I look at the 4XG7A07224, the spec that anchors the deployment decision is the 85W TDP on a 6-core Skylake part — that combination tells you exactly what this processor is designed for. You are not buying clock speed; you are buying a thermally conservative, platform-validated compute foundation for the SR570 in roles where the server runs continuously but the workload does not demand burst-heavy single-thread performance.

Technical Highlights:

• 6C/6T at 1.7 GHz: No hyperthreading means OS schedulers see exactly what the hardware delivers — 6 real cores. For VMS recording engines or surveillance analytics back-ends that assign threads to camera streams, this is predictable and clean to provision.
• 85W TDP: Running 24/7 in a rack, the difference between an 85W and 125W processor is roughly 350 kWh per year per server at full load. Across a modest surveillance infrastructure with 4–6 recording servers, that gap adds up in both power cost and cooling overhead.
• 768 GB DDR4 ceiling: For a Bronze-tier processor, the 768 GB addressable memory ceiling is a meaningful runway. A VMS deployment that moves toward in-memory analytics or large frame-buffer configurations won't hit a memory wall at 64 or 128 GB — the headroom is there if the workload grows.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your SR570 chassis generation before ordering. The LGA 3647 socket is shared across 1st and 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable, but firmware and board revisions differ — inserting a 1st Gen part into a 2nd Gen-only board will not POST.
• The Xeon Bronze 3104 has no Turbo Boost — 1.7 GHz is both the base and the maximum. If any component of your VMS or analytics stack has a latency-sensitive single-threaded path, evaluate whether this clock ceiling creates a bottleneck before committing.

This processor is the right fit for an SR570 deployed as a dedicated video recording server in a mid-size physical security infrastructure — continuous moderate-load operation, predictable power draw, and a Lenovo-validated component that avoids the compatibility risk of third-party processor sourcing on a production surveillance platform.
