INTEL Xeon 6544Y 3.60GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6544Y is a high-core-count server processor aimed at IT resellers, system integrators, and data center operators building or refreshing 2-socket platforms for virtualization, general compute, and storage workloads. With 28 cores and a strong turbo profile, it balances throughput-oriented workloads with responsiveness for latency-sensitive services. Note that memory performance and compatibility depend heavily on the host platform’s chipset and DIMM configuration, so verify board support before purchase.
Key specifications (table)

Good to know
- Compatibility: The LGA 4189 socket is shared across multiple Xeon Scalable generations, but BIOS/firmware support varies by motherboard vendor — always confirm your platform’s qualified processor list before deploying.
- Family positioning: Within the Xeon Gold tier, the 6544Y sits in the upper range of core count, offering more throughput than lower-bin Gold parts while remaining suited to cost-sensitive 2-socket builds rather than high-end 8-socket systems.
- Buying tip: Because memory bandwidth differs significantly between DDR4 and DDR5 configurations, decide your memory platform first — it materially affects total system cost and performance for bandwidth-hungry workloads such as virtualization hosts and storage controllers.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
