48-core Xeon Max for dense compute

The Intel Xeon Max 9468 delivers 48 cores and 96 threads at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with a 3.5 GHz maximum turbo. A 105 MB L3 cache feeds data to every core while the 10 nm Sapphire Rapids architecture supports 64-bit processing and Intel AMX, AVX-512, AVX2, AVX and SSE4.2 instructions. The processor is built for dual-socket servers that need maximum core density in a single package.

DDR5-4800 controller with eight channels

The integrated memory controller runs DDR5 at up to 4800 MT/s with one DIMM per channel and 4400 MT/s with two DIMMs per channel across eight channels, reaching a 4 TB maximum capacity. PCI Express 5.0 supplies 80 lanes for high-bandwidth accelerators, storage or networking. The 350 W thermal design power sets a firm ceiling that the platform cooling must meet.

LGA 4677 socket requires server-grade cooling

The LGA 4677 land-grid array seats the chip in purpose-built server boards; no cooling device is included. Installation demands a validated heatsink or liquid cold plate rated for the full 350 W dissipation and a chassis airflow plan that sustains it. The 2S scalability link enables a second identical processor for doubled thread count and memory channels.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 48-core 9468 or a lower-core Xeon Max for my workload?

The 9468 delivers 48 cores and 96 threads at 2.1 GHz base with 3.5 GHz turbo, giving the highest thread count in the Xeon Max line for heavily parallel server tasks.

What does the 3.5 GHz turbo mean once the chip is installed in a server?

Under load the processor can lift up to 3.5 GHz on active cores, limited by the 350 W thermal envelope and your cooling solution.

How does the PCIe 5.0 interface cap real-world expansion?

The CPU exposes 80 lanes of PCIe 5.0, so total I/O bandwidth is limited by those lanes and the 5.0 signalling rate.
