00FX516 - IBM 3.52GHz Power8 12-Core Retail Processor

IBM POWER8 00FX516 Server Processor for Enterprise Computing:

The IBM 00FX516 3.52GHz 12-Core POWER8 Processor Module is an enterprise-grade processor designed for IBM POWER8 server infrastructure. With 12 processing cores operating at 3.52 GHz, this processor module is built to provide dependable computing performance for demanding business applications, virtualization environments, database workloads, analytics, and enterprise server operations. IBM officially identifies part number 00FX516 as a 12-core 3.52 GHz processor module for the IBM Power System 8286-42A, with CCIN 54E3.

The IBM POWER8 architecture was designed for highly reliable enterprise computing, making the 00FX516 a suitable replacement component for organizations maintaining compatible IBM Power Systems. Its 12-core design allows multiple workloads to be processed concurrently, making it useful for business-critical applications where consistent processing capacity and system availability are important.

IBM 00FX516 POWER8 Processor Compatibility:

The 00FX516 processor module is associated with IBM POWER8 systems including the 8286-42A, and reseller documentation also identifies compatibility with IBM S824 configurations. IBM's own parts documentation lists one to two 00FX516 modules in the 8286-42A processor configuration.

This processor is particularly relevant for organizations looking to maintain or upgrade existing POWER8 infrastructure without replacing an entire server. It can serve as a replacement processor module for supported IBM Power Systems, helping extend the useful service life of established enterprise hardware.

High-Performance 12-Core POWER8 Computing:

With a 3.52 GHz operating frequency and 12 physical cores, the IBM 00FX516 delivers substantial parallel processing capability for server workloads. The processor is suitable for enterprise databases, ERP applications, virtualization, transaction processing, technical computing, and other workloads designed for IBM POWER8 platforms.

The processor module is also associated with several IBM feature and alternate identifiers, including 00FX736, 54E3, 8247-ELPJ, 8247-ELP6, 8286-EPXZ, 8286-EPXH, and EPXM, depending on the system and ordering configuration. Compatibility should always be verified using the IBM server model, feature code, and CCIN before installation.

Reliable IBM Enterprise Server Replacement:

The IBM 00FX516 is a specialized POWER8 processor module, rather than a conventional desktop CPU. It is intended for compatible IBM enterprise server platforms and should be installed according to the applicable IBM service and maintenance documentation. For businesses maintaining POWER8 infrastructure, this processor provides a practical replacement option for supported systems.

Whether used for server maintenance, infrastructure expansion, or replacement of a failed processor module, the IBM 00FX516 12-Core 3.52GHz POWER8 Processor combines enterprise-class IBM POWER8 technology with a clearly identifiable FRU/part number, making it easier for IT hardware teams to source and match the required component.
