Intel Xeon Platinum 8352M Server Processor (8352M) – 32-Core, 64-Thread, Up to 3.5GHz, LGA 4189, 48MB L3 (Refurbished)

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8352M (8352M) is an LGA 4189 server processor with 32 cores, 64 threads and boost clocks up to 3.5GHz. Built on 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake-SP), with 48MB L3, it is aimed at IT teams, MSPs and homelab builders upgrading or populating servers.

Proven server compute for upgrades, rebuilds and homelabs.

Getting More Out of Existing Server Platforms

When a server runs out of CPU headroom, replacing the whole platform is rarely the cheapest option. Many teams can extend the life of existing hosts by upgrading to a higher-core processor that fits the same socket, or by adding a second matched CPU.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8352M delivers 32 cores and 64 threads on the LGA 4189 platform with 48MB L3 and DDR4-3200 ECC, 8-channel memory support. That makes it a practical choice for virtualization, databases, file and web services, and homelab clusters built on 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake-SP).

Cores, Clocks and Cache in Practice

With 32 cores, 64 threads, up to 3.5GHz and 48MB L3, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8352M handles virtual machines, containers and database workloads with headroom. Power is rated at 185W TDP.

Platform and Connectivity

The LGA 4189 socket supports DDR4-3200 ECC, 8-channel and 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes. A discrete graphics card is required for display output.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the Intel Xeon Platinum 8352M

1. Confirm your server motherboard supports the Xeon Platinum 8352M on the LGA 4189 socket and update BIOS/firmware first.
2. Power down, discharge static and remove the existing heatsink and processor carefully.
3. Align the CPU with the socket key, install it, apply fresh thermal paste and refit the heatsink to the specified torque.
4. Boot to BIOS, confirm cores and memory are detected, then load your hypervisor or OS and verify performance.
