INTEL Xeon 6238 2.10GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6238 is a 22-core, 44-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), aimed at enterprise server and data center buyers. With a 2.10 GHz base frequency, 3.70 GHz max turbo, and dual-socket (2S) support, it fits general-purpose virtualization, compute, and storage workloads. Note that deployment requires an FCLGA3647 socket and a platform (chipset/BIOS) that supports Cascade Lake parts.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with Cascade Lake support; some earlier Skylake-SP platforms may need a BIOS update, so confirm compatibility before ordering or pairing a second CPU.
- Within the Xeon Scalable portfolio, the Gold 6238 sits in the mid-range Gold tier — more cores and cache than lower Gold/ Silver SKUs, at a lower price point than Platinum parts — making it a common choice for balanced virtualization and compute nodes.
- For 2S builds, budget for the 140 W TDP per socket and populate all 6 memory channels per CPU to realize full DDR4-2933 bandwidth; ask us about matched-pair units pulled from tested systems.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
