INTEL Xeon 6248 2.50GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6248 is a 20-core, 40-thread processor from Intel’s 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), positioned for enterprise servers and data center deployments. With a 2.50 GHz base frequency and 3.90 GHz max turbo, it suits virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage/application server workloads. Note that it requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a supporting platform stack, so verify server compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Compatibility: requires an FCLGA3647 platform (e.g. C621-series chipset boards) with BIOS support for Cascade Lake; 1st Gen Skylake-SP boards may need a firmware update, and DDR4-2933 operation depends on motherboard support.
- Family positioning: sits in the upper Gold tier of the Cascade Lake lineup, offering more cores than Gold 61xx parts below it while remaining within a dual-socket configuration — a common sweet spot for virtualization clusters and storage controller nodes.
- Buying tip: confirm heatsink and server chassis TDP ratings for the 150 W thermal envelope, and if planning 2S builds, source matched steppings/SKUs to avoid UPI pairing issues; ask us about pull-test status and tray vs. boxed packaging before ordering.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
