INTEL Xeon 6226R 2.90GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6226R is a 16-core, 32-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), positioned in the Gold tier for balanced performance and efficiency. With a 2.90 GHz base and 3.90 GHz turbo frequency, it suits enterprise virtualization hosts, cloud nodes, and general-purpose compute workloads. Buyers should confirm socket FCLGA3647 platform compatibility before ordering, as this generation requires a supporting C620-series chipset motherboard.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA3647 socket with a compatible C620-series chipset board and appropriate VRM/cooling for the 150 W TDP; memory speed of DDR4-2933 is only achieved with supported DIMM configurations.
- The “R” suffix positions this model within the Cascade Lake Refresh lineup, offering higher frequencies than the original Gold 6226 at the same core count; its 2 UPI links enable dual-socket scaling for memory- and I/O-intensive workloads.
- For upgrades, confirm BIOS support for Cascade Lake Refresh on your existing Xeon Scalable platform, and consider mixing of steppings in 2S systems — matched CPUs are recommended.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
