INTEL Xeon 6246R 3.40GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6246R is a 16-core, 32-thread processor from the 2nd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake Refresh), clocked at a 3.40 GHz base frequency with turbo up to 4.10 GHz. Its high per-core frequency combined with AVX-512 support makes it well suited for frequency-sensitive enterprise workloads such as databases, trading systems, and analytics, as well as general virtualization. Note that it requires an FCLGA3647 socket and a platform that supports 205 W TDP, so verify motherboard and cooling compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA3647-compatible motherboard and BIOS support for Cascade Lake Refresh parts; confirm your platform’s CPU support list and VRM/cooling budget for the 205 W TDP before purchase.
- Within the Gold family, the 6246R sits at the frequency-optimized end of the range, trading core count for higher clocks compared with lower-frequency, higher-core Gold parts in the same generation.
- Bulk buyers should confirm tray vs. boxed packaging, stepping/revision requirements, and whether their existing 3647-socket systems require a firmware update before deployment.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
