INTEL Xeon 6142 2.60GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6142 is a 16-core, 32-thread server processor from the first-generation Intel Xeon Scalable family (Skylake-SP), positioned in the Gold tier for mainstream two-socket enterprise servers. With a 2.60 GHz base clock and 150 W TDP, it suits virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or database workloads that benefit from high core counts and AVX-512 support. Buyers should confirm platform compatibility, as this part requires an FCLGA3647 socket on a C620-series chipset motherboard.

Good to know
- Socket and platform dependent: requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a C620-series chipset and firmware support for first-generation Xeon Scalable CPUs — check your server vendor’s QVL before ordering.
- Within the Gold family, the 6142 sits in the mid-range of the 61xx series, offering a strong core-count-to-TDP balance; it scales to 2-socket configurations via three UPI links, unlike Bronze and lower Silver parts.
- As the part is discontinued, stock is pulled from decommissioned enterprise servers — request testing status, stepping details, and thermal paste/heatsink compatibility (square vs. narrow ILM mounting) from your supplier.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
