16-core Xeon Gold server processor

The Intel Xeon Gold 6246R is a 16-core server processor running at 3.4 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.10 GHz. It fits the LGA 3647 socket and has a thermal design power of 205W. The chip provides 35.75MB of L3 cache and supports 32 threads via Hyper-Threading.

Suited for multi-socket data-centre workloads

This CPU targets mainstream data-centre, multi-cloud compute, network and storage workloads that scale up to four sockets. It is not for builds that require more than 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes or memory speeds beyond 2933 MHz across six channels. Buyers needing higher core counts or lower power envelopes should consider other options.

Includes standard tray processor only

The unit ships as the CD8069504449801 tray processor without a heatsink or fan. System integrators must supply a compatible LGA 3647 cooling solution rated for 205W and a server chassis with adequate airflow. No additional software licences or mounting hardware are bundled.

Questions about this item

What motherboard socket and power budget are required for the Xeon Gold 6246R?

The processor fits an LGA 3647 socket and has a 205W thermal design power, so the board must support that socket and a cooling solution rated for at least 205W.

Will the Xeon Gold 6246R work in a dual-socket board with an older Xeon Scalable processor?

The 6246R supports up to four-socket scalability, but Intel requires identical processor models in multi-socket configurations, so an older Xeon cannot be mixed with this CPU.

How can I confirm the Xeon Gold 6246R is running at its rated speeds after installation?

Check the BIOS or operating-system monitoring tools for a base clock of 3.40 GHz, a maximum turbo of 4.10 GHz, 16 cores with 32 threads, and 35.75 MB L3 cache reported.
