Xeon 6 6980P 128-core server processor

The Intel Xeon 6 6980P is a 128-core server CPU built for dense compute workloads in two-socket platforms. It targets data-centre operators running virtualization, high-performance computing and large-scale AI inference. The processor fits the FCLGA 7529 socket and delivers 256 threads for heavy parallel tasks.

504 MB L3 cache and 12-channel DDR5 6400 memory

The chip provides 504 MB of shared L3 cache and supports up to 3 TB of DDR5 memory across 12 channels at 6400 MT/s. This bandwidth and capacity headroom suits in-memory databases and large-model inference. Workloads exceeding 3 TB total memory or requiring more than 128 cores per socket will need additional nodes.

500 W TDP with 3.9 GHz max turbo frequency

The processor carries a 500 W thermal design power and reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 3.9 GHz under load. Sustained all-core operation at base 2.0 GHz demands robust liquid or high-airflow cooling in a server chassis. Systems without adequate 500 W per socket cooling capacity will throttle performance.

Questions about this item

Does the 500 W TDP mean I need a new cooler if I keep my current chassis?

The processor has a 500 W TDP. Your existing cooler and chassis airflow must be rated for at least that heat load; otherwise a higher-capacity cooler is required.

How can I verify the 128 cores and 3.9 GHz turbo are active after installation?

Check the OS task manager or lscpu output: it should show 128 cores, 256 threads, and a maximum frequency of 3.9 GHz under load.

The OEM pack lists only the processor — what else must I buy separately?

You will need a compatible FCLGA 7529 motherboard, DDR5-6400 memory modules, a 500 W-rated cooler, and thermal paste; none are included in the OEM tray.
