INTEL Xeon 6548Y 2.50GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6548Y is a 32-core, 64-thread processor from Intel’s 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable family, aimed at system integrators and data center buyers building dual-socket servers for virtualization, compute, and storage-controller workloads. With a 205W TDP and LGA 4189 socket, it requires a compatible C741/C620A-class platform, so verifying motherboard and BIOS support before purchase is a practical must. Note the listing title shows 2.50 GHz while the specification table states a 3.00 GHz base clock — confirm the exact stepping with your supplier before ordering.

Good to know
- Compatibility: This CPU fits only LGA 4189 sockets used by 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable platforms; it will not drop into Socket P (LGA 3647) boards from earlier generations, and DDR5 support is board-dependent even though the CPU lists DDR5-4800.
- Family positioning: Within the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable stack, the Gold 6548Y sits in the mainstream Gold tier — a high core count (32C/64T) with strong AVX-512 and acceleration features (DSA, VNNI), suited to virtualization hosts and inference/compute nodes rather than entry-level web serving.
- Buying tip: Because the listing title (2.50 GHz) and spec table (3.00 GHz base) differ, request the official spec sheet or sSpec number from the seller before committing, and confirm whether the unit is tray, boxed, or pull-out with any applicable warranty terms stated in writing.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
