INTEL Xeon 6226 2.70GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6226 is a 12-core, 24-thread processor from Intel’s 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), built for mid-tier enterprise workloads such as virtualization hosts, compute nodes, and storage/controllers. Its balance of 2.7 GHz base frequency, Turbo Boost to 3.7 GHz, and AVX-512 support makes it suitable for mixed virtualization and data-analytics deployments. Note that it requires an LGA 3647 platform, so verify socket and BIOS compatibility with your motherboard before ordering.

Good to know
- Compatibility: The 6226 uses the LGA 3647 socket and requires a Cascade Lake–compatible motherboard and BIOS; many first-generation Skylake LGA 3647 boards need a firmware update before this CPU will boot. DDR4-2933 memory speed support is also platform dependent.
- Family positioning: Within the 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable Gold range, the 6226 sits in the mainstream mid-tier — fewer cores than the 62xx high-core-count SKUs, but higher base/turbo clocks, which favors per-core licensed software (e.g., databases, virtualization with per-core licensing).
- Buying tip: Since this is a socket LGA 3647 part on the PCIe 3.0 platform, confirm your chassis heatsink is rated for 125 W TDP and plan memory as matched 6-channel sets to realize the full bandwidth potential. For volume orders, request batch testing reports for consistency across sockets.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
