INTEL Xeon 6140 2.30GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6140 is an 18-core / 36-thread processor from the first-generation Intel Xeon Scalable family (Skylake-SP), aimed at buyers of mainstream dual-socket servers and workstations. With a 2.30 GHz base clock, 3.70 GHz turbo, and 140 W TDP, it suits virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or database workloads. Note that it uses the FCLGA3647 socket, so platform compatibility must be confirmed before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a C620-series or equivalent Skylake-SP chipset; confirm BIOS support for first-generation Xeon Scalable before pairing with newer boards.
- Within the Gold family, the 6140 sits in the upper mainstream tier — above the 12-core 6126-class parts and below the 24-core Platinum lineup — balancing core count against the 140 W power envelope.
- Since the part is discontinued, verify whether pulls, refurbs, or new-old-stock units are being quoted, and check the seller’s testing and warranty policy per unit.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
