P49598-B21 Intel Xeon-Gold 6426Y 2.5GHz 16-core 185W Processor for HPE

[jazzper]

HPE Servers Support & OS Certification Matrices state that the 5th generation of this CPU requires RHEL 8.8 or later.

How or where do I find what "generation" the CPU is?  For a specific product, we use RHEL 8.6 and the site has 4 servers with the above CPU, but not sure what generation. 

Thanks,

From Intel Support page 

The first digit of the four-number sequence indicates the processor level

Processor Level  

8,9 Platinum
6 Gold
5 Gold
4 Silver
3 Bronze

Second digit indicates the processor generation

Processor Generation  
1 1st Generation
2 2nd Generation
3 3rd Generation
4 4th Generation

Third and fourth digits indicate the SKU number

These numbers do not represent any specific feature. In general, the better processor has a larger SKU number.

Hello,

The respective server's QuickSpecs would list the supported processors, from which you may determine the generation of processor needed.
