Intel Xeon Gold 5315Y Support on VMWare

[dlambeth1]

We were advised by our reseller to purchase 2 new Dell servers with ( Intel Xeon Gold 5315Y ) processors, however we I look at the VMWare compatability list it doesn't show up on there. Is the Xeon Gold 5300 processor support for esxi and vcenter?

Thanks ahead,

Hello. 

It seems that Intel Xeon Gold 5315y is part of Intel Xeon Gold 5300 Ice-Lake Series. 

On the VMware compatibility matrix website you can see that this processor series is compatible with the following versions of vSphere (ESXi 6.7u3 support starts at 6.7 p03) :

Thanks, I was in a different matrix that wouldn't show anything for that processor. Glad you found this for me : )

Thanks a bunch,
