What the Xeon Silver 4510 is
The Xeon Silver 4510 is the 12-core mainstream of the late 2023 Silver refresh for LGA 4677 boards from the fourth quarter of 2023. Twelve Golden Cove cores with hyperthreading give 12 cores and 24 threads, with base at 2.4 GHz and up to 4.1 GHz turbo. The package carries 30 MB of Smart Cache. The 150 W envelope suits single and dual socket mainstream servers. ARK files it under the 5th Gen Xeon Scalable collection while the codename field says Sapphire Rapids, so this page follows the master list codename.
Balanced clocks with 12 threads suit mainstream virtualization hosts that pack guests per socket. Eight channels of DDR5 feed 12 cores for consolidated duty. Eighty Gen5 lanes with Flex Bus and CXL serve NICs and NVMe across one or two sockets.
Mainstream buyers land here for 12 fast threads at 150 W. Mixed virtual machines plus storage tasks fit well, while 20-core Silver parts suit denser hosts. Server boards need C741 class chipsets with the Silver SKU on the CPU list, not W790 workstation boards. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers server board choice.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 4510 fits LGA 4677 on single and dual socket server boards with LGA 4677 retention and server power delivery. Two UPI links at 16 GT/s enable dual socket pairing. W790 workstation boards target W-series chips instead.
Server chipset choice decides management and IO breadth rather than CPU fit.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR5 to 4800 MT/s in 8 channels feeds 12 cores for virtualization duty. Population with matched DIMMs holds rated speed.
Eighty Gen5 lanes with Flex Bus and CXL per CPU wire NICs, accelerators and NVMe. Cooling is a 150 W server heatsink with front-to-back airflow.
Upgrade paths
On LGA 4677 the upward moves are higher-core Silver parts where VM counts grow, or adding a second 4510 socket where boards allow 2P. Memory growth and NIC additions often help more than cores.
Outside mainstream Silver, Gold parts on LGA 4677 add cache and threads for larger fabrics.
