There are some CPU reviews we do that show off an amazing performance. The Intel Xeon Bronze 3206R is not one of them. Instead, this is a SKU that is part of the Big 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Refresh but could have been launched with the original SKUs. This is a low-power and low-cost SKU that has two primary purposes. First, it is designed to “light the platform” SKU. This enables servers that either simply need to exist to provide basic services or potentially to attach hard drives to the network in a server. Here CPU performance is not overly important. Second, they are designed so that large OEMs have inexpensive parts to put in servers and call them “complete systems” instead of barebones units. Still, in our review, we are going to take a look at what this processor offers.
