INTEL Xeon 6230N 2.30GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6230N is a 20-core, 40-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), designed for server and data center deployments where high core density and multi-socket scaling are required. It suits virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage workloads, with up to 4-socket configurations for capacity-focused builds. Note that it requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with platform support for Cascade Lake, so verify compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA3647 socket motherboard with BIOS support for 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake); some first-generation C621 platforms support it after a firmware update, so confirm board and BIOS revision first.
- Within the Xeon Gold family, the 6230N prioritizes core count and 4-socket scalability over clock speed, making it a better fit for virtualization density and capacity-oriented workloads than frequency-optimized Gold SKUs.
- Plan your memory population carefully: the 6-channel DDR4-2933 controller delivers best bandwidth when all channels are populated, and per-socket capacity is ultimately limited by the motherboard.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
