INTEL Xeon 6230 2.10GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 6230 is a 20-core, 40-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), aimed at data center buyers running virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or controller workloads. Its 2.10 GHz base / 3.90 GHz turbo clock and AVX-512 with DL Boost (VNNI) make it a solid mid-range Gold-tier option for mixed CPU- and inference-oriented workloads. Note that final memory speed and socket configuration depend on your platform, so verify motherboard and DIMM compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Compatibility: requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with C620-series chipset; confirm BIOS support for Cascade Lake and that DIMMs are on the vendor’s qualified list to achieve DDR4-2933 operation.
- Family positioning: within the 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable stack, the Gold 6230 sits in the mid-range Gold tier — more cores and memory bandwidth than Bronze/Silver SKUs, while 3 UPI links and 2S/4S support give it flexibility for scale-up builds below Platinum pricing tiers.
- Buying tip: as a launched-generation part, verify pull/refurb grade, stepping, and thermal interface condition with your supplier, and plan your upgrade path around the FCLGA3647 platform since newer Xeon generations use different sockets.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
