INTEL Xeon 6526Y 2.80GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y is a 20-core, 40-thread processor from the 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Emerald Rapids microarchitecture), suited to virtualization hosts, compute nodes, and storage controllers in two-socket or multi-socket servers. With DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 support, it targets integrators and data centers refreshing from prior Xeon generations. Note that deployment requires an FCLGA4677 socket platform and a 200W-capable thermal solution, so verify motherboard and heatsink compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Compatibility is tied to the FCLGA4677 socket; confirm your server platform (e.g., C741-class boards) supports 5th Gen Xeon Scalable processors, as some earlier boards may require a BIOS/firmware update.
- Within the 5th Gen Xeon Scalable lineup, the 6526Y sits in the Gold tier, offering a balance of core count (20C/40T) and 200W TDP — positioned between higher-core Gold/Platinum parts and lower-power Silver SKUs.
- Buying tip: pair with 8-channel DDR5-4800 modules to fully utilize memory bandwidth, and plan for the 200W TDP when sizing heatsinks and power supplies; bulk and tray options may vary by stock — confirm configuration with sales before purchase.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
