64-Core Xeon 696X for single-socket servers

The Intel Xeon 696X is a 64-core, 128-thread server processor built on the Intel 3 process. It targets single-socket platforms using the LGA 4710 socket and delivers a 2.4 GHz base frequency with turbo up to 4.8 GHz. The chip provides 336 MB of L3 cache and an 8-channel memory controller supporting DDR5 6400 MHz and MRDIMM 8000 MHz.

Suited for dense compute.

This processor suits workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single-socket form factor, such as virtualisation, database and HPC tasks. The 1S-only scalability means it cannot be used in dual-socket or larger symmetric multiprocessing systems. Buyers needing multi-socket scale should look at processors that support 2S or higher configurations.

350 W base with 420 W turbo ceiling under

The thermal design power is rated at 350 W and the maximum turbo power reaches 420 W, so cooling and power delivery must handle the higher figure during prolonged boost periods. PCI Express 5.0 provides 128 lanes for high-bandwidth I/O. Instruction support includes SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX2, AVX-512 and AMX for accelerated vector and matrix workloads.

Questions about this item

What motherboard socket is required for the Xeon 696X processor?

The Xeon 696X requires a motherboard with an LGA 4710 socket.

Can the Xeon 696X operate in a dual-socket configuration alongside another processor?

The Xeon 696X supports 1S only, meaning it is designed for single-socket platforms and cannot be paired with a second CPU.

How can I verify the Xeon 696X is reaching its maximum turbo frequency after installation?

Monitor the CPU frequency under load using system utilities; the processor can reach up to 4.8 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0.
