INTEL Xeon 6442Y 2.60GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6442Y is a 24-core, 48-thread processor from the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Sapphire Rapids microarchitecture), aimed at resellers and system integrators building general-purpose enterprise servers. With a 2.60 GHz base and 3.70 GHz turbo frequency, it fits mixed workloads such as virtualization, databases, and compute clusters. Note that it requires an FCLGA4677 socket and DDR5-capable platform, so verify motherboard compatibility before committing to an order.

Good to know
- Compatibility: the 6442Y uses the FCLGA4677 socket and requires DDR5 memory — it will not work in prior-generation Xeon Scalable platforms (LGA4189) or DDR4 boards, so confirm server SKU support before purchase.
- Family positioning: within the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable lineup, the Gold 6442Y sits in the mainstream Gold tier, balancing core count and 205W TDP — a solid choice for virtualization hosts and general compute nodes where the higher-tier Platinum SKUs are not required.
- Buying tip: for multi-socket builds, check that your platform supports the Intel UPI links at 16 GT/s and plan power delivery around the 205W TDP; request tray vs. boxed packaging details and test reports when sourcing in volume.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
