INTEL Xeon 6240R 2.40GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6240R is a 24-core, 48-thread Cascade Lake server processor designed for LGA 3647 platforms, positioned in the upper tier of the Gold family for dense virtualization, compute, and storage workloads. Its high core count and DDR4-2933 support make it a common choice for consolidating VM fleets or upgrading existing Cascade Lake-SP two-socket servers. Note that availability and pricing for this generation vary with market stock, so confirm platform compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard with Cascade Lake BIOS support; check your platform’s QVL and thermal solution before mixing with earlier Skylake-SP generation CPUs.
- Within the Xeon Gold ‘R’ Cascade Lake refresh lineup, the 6240R offers a higher core count and memory speed than the original 6240, at the cost of a higher 165 W TDP.
- When building dual-socket systems, match CPU steppers and memory population across both sockets to achieve balanced performance and validated configurations — contact us for lot-matched pairs.
