Intel Xeon Gold 6138 20 Cores 40 Threads 3.7GHz P (LGA 3647) CD8067303406100 Server CPU

Enterprise Scale-Up Server CPU for LGA3647 platforms featuring multi-socket UPI interconnect with Intel Xeon Gold 6138

The Intel Xeon Gold 6138 is a Skylake-SP (14nm) tray processor designed for LGA3647 systems where predictable, multi-socket compute density is required. With 20 cores and 40 threads, the Intel Xeon Gold 6138 targets dual- and quad-socket nodes that need balanced throughput for virtualization, analytics, and mixed enterprise services while maintaining a controlled 125W thermal envelope.

For memory-bound workloads, the Intel Xeon Gold 6138 supports up to 768GB of ECC DDR4 at up to 2666 MT/s, enabling higher VM consolidation and larger in-memory datasets without compromising reliability. Expansion is provided through PCIe 3.0 with up to 48 lanes for NICs, HBAs, NVMe backplanes, and accelerator attachment, while Intel VMD helps streamline NVMe management in supported server platforms. In scale-up designs, 3 UPI links and 4-socket capability allow the Intel Xeon Gold 6138 to operate in coherent shared-memory configurations, aligning well with database tiers, clustered applications, and AVX-512 enabled analytics pipelines.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon Gold 6138?

The Intel Xeon Gold 6138 is a strong architectural fit when you need socket-to-socket scalability without redesigning the node around specialized accelerators. Its core count, UPI topology, and enterprise RAS alignment support dense consolidation and predictable performance growth across 2S/4S deployments, making the Intel Xeon Gold 6138 a practical CPU standardization choice for scale-up clusters.

Intel engineering focuses on platform stability, long lifecycle support, and consistent validation across server ecosystems. With built-in capabilities such as AES-NI, TXT, VT-x (EPT), and VT-d, the Intel Xeon Gold 6138 integrates cleanly into modern data centre security and virtualization requirements while sustaining reliable operation under continuous load.
