IBM Power 8 54E3 ... 12 core 3.52 GHz processor module
54E3 is the IBM identifier for a 12 core 3.52 GHz processor module. It applies to 8286-42A.
54E3 identifies a 12 core 3.52 GHz processor module on IBM Power 8 systems. IBM lists it against 8286-42A.
Processor modules on these machines are socketed IBM parts identified by core count and clock speed rather than by a retail model name. Core count is what drives IBM i software tier and therefore licensing cost, so it matters well beyond raw performance.
Before you order against this number, read the VPD on the machine itself. Power 8 systems were built over several years and a machine that left the factory with one part may well have been serviced since.
