INTEL Xeon 6421N 1.80GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6421N is a 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture, targeted at server and enterprise deployments such as virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or appliance workloads. Its Intel 7 (10 nm class) process and FCLGA4677 socket mean buyers should verify motherboard and platform compatibility before ordering, as this generation does not drop into earlier Xeon Scalable platforms. A practical note: confirm BIOS/firmware support on your specific board, since Sapphire Rapids requires matching platform enablement.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Processor Name | Intel Xeon Gold 6421N |
| CPU Family | 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable |
| Architecture | Sapphire Rapids |
| Base Frequency | 1.80 GHz |
| Process Technology | Intel 7 (10 nm class) |
| Target Segment / Use Conditions | Server / Enterprise |
| Socket | FCLGA4677 |
| Launch Date | Q1 2023 |
Good to know
- Compatibility: FCLGA4677 is exclusive to Sapphire Rapids–era platforms (C740 chipset family and equivalent OEM boards); it is not backward compatible with 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) sockets or coolers.
- Family positioning: The Gold 6421N sits in the mid-tier Gold band of the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable line, positioned below Platinum parts for mainstream enterprise workloads rather than top-end memory- or I/O-bound deployments; the 1.80 GHz base clock suggests a density- and efficiency-oriented SKU.
- Buying tip: Since launch dates and exact board support vary by vendor, request the platform support list (qualified motherboard and BIOS version) from your supplier before committing to volume purchases, and pair with validated FCLGA4677 cooling.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
