GENERIC INTEL XEON-GOLD 6142 (2.6GHZ/16-CORE/150W) PROCESSOR

Server processor engineered for high-density data centers and enterprise workloads, delivering 16 cores and 32 threads at a 2.6 GHz base clock with a 3.7 GHz turbo boost for exceptional parallel processing power.

Advantages

The Intel Xeon Gold 6142 brings together a robust 22 MB L3 cache, six memory channels for up to 768 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory, and 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes to handle virtualization, cloud computing, and analytics with ease. Its 150 W TDP is optimized for sustained performance in dual-socket configurations, while three Intel UPI links provide high-speed inter-socket communication.

Suitable for

• Enterprise database servers and business-critical applications
• Virtualization hosts running multiple VMs and containers
• High-performance computing clusters and AI inference nodes
• Software-defined storage and hyper-converged infrastructure

Key specifications

• 16 cores / 32 threads, 2.6 GHz base, 3.7 GHz max turbo
• 22 MB Intel Smart Cache, 14 nm lithography
• FCLGA3647 socket, supports up to 768 GB DDR4-2666 ECC
• 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes, 3 Intel UPI links
