INTEL Xeon 6148 2.40GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6148 is a 20-core, 40-thread server processor from Intel’s first-generation Xeon Scalable family (Skylake-SP, launched 2017), positioned in the Gold tier for mid-to-high-end enterprise workloads. With a 2.40 GHz base clock, 3.70 GHz max turbo, and six-channel DDR4-2666 ECC Registered memory support, it targets virtualization hosts, HPC clusters, and database servers in dual-socket or multi-socket deployments. Note that it uses the FCLGA3647 socket, so buyers should verify motherboard and BIOS compatibility before planning an upgrade from older LGA2011-based platforms.
Key specifications (table)

| Manufacturing Process | 14 nm |
| Total Cores | 20 |
| Total Threads | 40 (with Hyper-Threading) |
| Base Frequency | 2.40 GHz |
| Max Turbo Frequency | 3.70 GHz (Turbo Boost 2.0) |
| L1 Cache | 20 × 32 KB (instruction) + 20 × 32 KB (data) = 1.28 MB total |

Good to know
- Compatibility: This CPU requires an FCLGA3647 socket motherboard with BIOS support for Skylake-SP (first-generation Xeon Scalable). It will not fit LGA3647 boards configured only for Cascade Lake without a BIOS update, and it is incompatible with older LGA2011 platforms.
- Family positioning: Within the first-generation Xeon Scalable lineup, the Gold 6148 sits near the top of the Gold tier — below Platinum parts but above lower-core Gold models — making it a common choice for dense virtualization and HPC nodes where AVX-512 throughput matters.
- Buying tip: Since this is a mature part that may be discontinued on newer roadmaps, confirm stock quantity and tray/boxed condition with your sales contact, and verify heatsink mounting hardware for the 150 W TDP is included or ordered separately.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
