INTEL Xeon 6428N 1.80GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6428N is a 32-core, 64-thread processor from the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Sapphire Rapids), aimed at buyers running dense virtualization hosts, compute clusters, or storage/appliance workloads that need high core counts with strong memory bandwidth. Its low 1.80 GHz base frequency with 3.80 GHz turbo makes it best suited to throughput-oriented, well-parallelized workloads rather than clock-speed-sensitive applications. Note that deployment requires a Sapphire Rapids–ready platform with an FCLGA4677 socket and DDR5 memory, so verify motherboard and BIOS compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- This processor requires an FCLGA4677 socket board with Sapphire Rapids platform support and DDR5 memory — it is not a drop-in upgrade for older Cascade Lake/Ice Lake Xeon systems.
- Within the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Gold family, the 6428N positions as a high-core-count, lower-base-clock part, well matched to parallelized workloads such as virtualization density, batch compute, and storage controller nodes rather than single-thread performance.
- Before purchasing, confirm your server chassis supports a 185 W TDP thermal profile and verify BIOS/firmware support for Sapphire Rapids with your vendor; population of all 8 memory channels is recommended to realize full bandwidth.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
