Intel Xeon 6740P 48 Cores 96 Threads 3.8GHz E2 (LGA 4710) PK8072006270100 Server CPU

High-Density Dual-Socket Server CPU Platform Efficiency with the Intel Xeon 6740P (PK8072006270100)

The Intel Xeon 6740P is a 6th Gen Granite Rapids server CPU engineered for dual-socket general compute servers where predictable throughput, core density, and platform longevity matter. In 1S deployments it delivers strong consolidation efficiency, and it scales cleanly to 2S nodes to increase total cores per host while retaining consistent scheduling and NUMA-aware performance characteristics.

Designed for Socket E2 (LGA4710) platforms, the Intel Xeon 6740P aligns with modern data centre memory architectures through ECC support to protect long-lived virtual machines, databases, and analytics processes from silent data corruption. Its balanced CPU-to-I/O profile supports high device counts through contemporary PCIe expansion, enabling dense NIC, storage, and accelerator attach without forcing a storage-first or network-first compromise. For storage architectures, it fits both low-latency NVMe tiers and capacity-focused backends, supporting tiered designs that keep hot datasets close to compute while maintaining operational simplicity.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon 6740P?

The Intel Xeon 6740P provides a practical density-to-performance ratio for enterprises standardising on dual-socket nodes, combining 48 cores / 96 threads with a power envelope suited to rack-scale planning. The Intel Xeon 6740P is a strong choice for scalable virtualisation clusters and multi-threaded application estates where host consolidation, deterministic performance, and fleet-wide maintainability are priorities.

Intel designs the Intel Xeon 6740P with a platform-centric engineering approach focused on enterprise validation, firmware ecosystem maturity, and compatibility with current server management standards. This supports repeatable deployments across mixed workloads and simplifies lifecycle operations in shared infrastructure environments.

Key Applications:

• Virtualisation and private cloud hosts
• Dense multi-threaded enterprise applications
• Scale-up databases
• Analytics and ETL nodes
• General-purpose dual-socket compute
