Lenovo 4XG7A83823 Intel Xeon Gold 5416S 16-Core Processor for SR630 V3

Overview

The Lenovo 4XG7A83823 is an Intel Xeon Gold 5416S processor option designed for the ThinkSystem SR630 V3 server platform. Built on Intel's 4th Generation Xeon Scalable architecture, this 16-core, 150W processor targets workloads where you need a broad core count at a controlled thermal envelope — think virtualization hosts, edge compute nodes, and mid-tier AI inference stacks where per-core licensing costs make core count a real budget variable. At 2.0 GHz base with a 4.0 GHz boost ceiling and a 30 MB L3 cache, the 5416S lands in the efficiency tier of the Xeon Gold 6000-series generation — capable without the power budget demands of the higher-binned parts.

The SR630 V3 is Lenovo's 1U dual-socket rack server, and this processor fits the LGA 4677 (Socket E) primary or secondary socket position. Intel's 16 GT/s system bus rate underpins the inter-processor fabric when both sockets are populated, which matters for latency-sensitive workloads that need tight NUMA coordination across sockets.

Key Features

• 16 Cores / 32 Threads at 150W TDP: The 5416S runs 16 physical cores with 32 logical threads inside a 150W envelope. For virtualization deployments on the SR630 V3, that translates to a dense VM-to-watt ratio — meaningful in colo environments billing by the kilowatt-hour. Compare to the higher-TDP Xeon Gold parts pushing 250W+ when you want predictable power draw without throttling under sustained load.
• 4.0 GHz Turbo Boost Ceiling: Base clock is 2.0 GHz, but the processor scales to 4.0 GHz under Turbo Boost on lightly threaded workloads. That 2x headroom means single-threaded tasks — database queries, legacy application threads, certain video analytics pipelines — get meaningful acceleration without running a higher-binned SKU full-time.
• Hybrid Core Architecture (4 High-Priority + 12 Efficiency Cores): The 5416S uses a tiered core design: 4 high-priority cores run at 2.1 GHz base, while the remaining 12 efficiency cores hold at 1.7 GHz base. For workloads with mixed thread priorities — say, a primary process needing low latency alongside background batch tasks — this architecture lets the scheduler route accordingly without manual affinity pinning in most modern hypervisors.
• 30 MB L3 Cache: The 30 MB shared L3 cache is sized to hold working sets for mid-tier analytics or database buffer pools across 16 cores. If your workload is cache-sensitive (in-memory databases, high-frequency trading middleware, video frame buffers), this cache size reduces main memory round-trips meaningfully compared to lower-cache-count parts in the same family.
• 16 GT/s System Bus Rate: The 16 GT/s UPI interconnect rate governs how quickly data moves between the two physical sockets in a dual-socket SR630 V3 configuration. For workloads that span NUMA nodes — large in-memory databases, multi-socket parallel compute — this bandwidth ceiling determines whether your inter-socket latency becomes a bottleneck.
• 64-Bit Processing, Stepping S3: Production stepping S3 means this is a mature silicon revision — not early-production silicon that may carry errata requiring firmware workarounds. For enterprise deployments where you need known-good silicon and stable microcode behavior, stepping matters when comparing against earlier-revision inventory on the secondary market.
• LGA 4677 (Socket E) Platform Compatibility: The 4XG7A83823 is a Lenovo option part number engineered and validated specifically for the ThinkSystem SR630 V3. Lenovo-qualified processor option parts go through platform-level validation including BIOS compatibility, thermal solution pairing, and power management tuning — reducing integration risk compared to sourcing bare retail-tray Xeon processors and installing them into OEM servers without platform qualification.

Integration and Compatibility

This processor installs into the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V3 (LGA 4677, Socket E). It is a Lenovo option part — meaning it is validated for BIOS compatibility, thermal management, and power delivery within the SR630 V3 platform. When populating both sockets, both processors must be identical SKUs for supported dual-socket operation; mixing different Xeon Gold stepping or wattage bins is not a supported configuration on the SR630 V3. Confirm your current UEFI firmware version supports Stepping S3 silicon before installation — check the Lenovo SR630 V3 firmware compatibility matrix for the minimum required UEFI build. The 4XG7A83823 ships factory-new and is sourced channel-direct, ensuring genuine Intel Xeon silicon with full platform-level validation intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What server is the Lenovo 4XG7A83823 compatible with?

A: The 4XG7A83823 is a Lenovo option part validated specifically for the ThinkSystem SR630 V3 server platform. It uses the LGA 4677 (Socket E) socket. Do not attempt to install this in other LGA 4677 platforms without confirming Lenovo's compatibility documentation for your specific server model.

Q: How many cores and threads does the 4XG7A83823 processor provide?

A: The Intel Xeon Gold 5416S in the 4XG7A83823 delivers 16 physical cores and 32 threads via Intel Hyper-Threading. The architecture splits those into 4 high-priority cores (2.1 GHz base) and 12 efficiency cores (1.7 GHz base).

Q: What is the thermal design power (TDP) of the 4XG7A83823?

A: The Xeon Gold 5416S carries a 150W TDP. For SR630 V3 deployments in thermally constrained environments or colo facilities with strict per-rack power budgets, this is a key planning figure — lower than many of the higher-core-count Xeon Gold parts in the same generation.

Q: Can the SR630 V3 run two 4XG7A83823 processors simultaneously?

A: Yes, the SR630 V3 is a dual-socket platform. When populating both sockets, both processors must be the same SKU. Dual-socket operation uses the 16 GT/s UPI interconnect between processors. For NUMA-aware workloads, plan memory population symmetrically across both processor's DIMM banks.

Q: What Intel processor generation is the Xeon Gold 5416S?

A: The 5416S is a 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor (codenamed Sapphire Rapids). It supports the LGA 4677 platform and is not backward-compatible with 3rd Gen (Ice Lake) or earlier Xeon Scalable sockets.

Q: Is the 4XG7A83823 a new or refurbished part?

A: The 4XG7A83823 is factory-new, sourced channel-direct. It is not refurbished, pulled, or grey-market inventory. It ships as a Lenovo-qualified option part for the SR630 V3.
