INTEL Xeon 6252N 2.30GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6252N is a 24-core, 48-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), positioned for enterprise servers, edge deployments, and network-optimized workloads. With 3 UPI links and dual-socket support, it suits virtualization hosts, storage controllers, and compute nodes where high core counts and mature RAS features matter. Note that base and turbo frequencies differ between marketing listings and the specification table below — refer to the table for the grounded figures.

Good to know
- Compatibility: Requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a C620-series chipset and appropriate BIOS support for Cascade Lake — earlier Skylake-generation firmware may need an update before this CPU is recognized.
- Family positioning: Within the 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable stack, Gold-tier parts like the 6252N sit above Bronze/Silver in core count and memory bandwidth, while the N suffix indicates a network/edge-optimized variant; it offers a more cost-effective density point than Platinum SKUs for 2S builds.
- Buying tip: Because this is a high-TDP (140 W) dual-socket-capable part, confirm your chassis thermal design and confirm memory population rules to actually achieve DDR4-2933 speeds before ordering.
