INTEL Xeon 6240 2.60GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6240 is an 18-core, 36-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), positioned in the Gold tier for mainstream enterprise deployments. It suits buyers running virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or application servers that need balanced core count and memory bandwidth on the FCLGA3647 platform. Note that memory and PCIe capabilities depend on the specific motherboard and chipset, so verify platform support before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a C620-series chipset to support Cascade Lake; also check BIOS revision, as older Skylake-era boards may need updates to recognize this processor.
- Within the Xeon Gold family, the 6240 sits as a mid-range option — above entry Gold models in core count while offering AVX-512 and DL Boost for inference and HPC-style workloads, but without the larger caches and higher core counts of Platinum parts.
- The 3 UPI links support dual-socket (2S) builds; if you plan a 2S configuration, confirm both CPUs match in stepping and that your chassis and power budget accommodate the 150 W TDP.
