Intel Xeon Gold 6240 18 Cores 36 Threads 3.9GHz P (LGA 3647) CD8069504194001 Workstation, Server CPU

High-Density Server and Workstation CPU Platform featuring Cascade Lake scalability with the Intel Xeon Gold 6240 (CD8069504194001)

The Intel Xeon Gold 6240 is a 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable “Cascade Lake” processor engineered for LGA3647 server and workstation platforms that need balanced core density, predictable latency, and mature PCIe 3.0 expansion. With 18 cores and 36 threads, the Intel Xeon Gold 6240 supports consolidation-focused compute while maintaining strong turbo responsiveness for mixed enterprise workloads.

Designed around a 6-channel DDR4 memory subsystem with ECC and optional Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory support, the Intel Xeon Gold 6240 aligns well with in-memory services, large VM footprints, and database buffer caching. Its 48 CPU-provided PCIe 3.0 lanes enable straightforward attachment of NVMe backplanes, RAID/HBA controllers, high-speed networking, or accelerator-class add-in cards, while Intel VMD improves NVMe manageability and IO virtualization. For analytics and HPC kernels, AVX-512 and Intel DL Boost accelerate vector math and inference-oriented primitives within a controlled 150W TDP envelope.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon Gold 6240?

The Intel Xeon Gold 6240 provides a practical density-to-performance profile for enterprises standardizing on Cascade Lake platforms, with feature completeness for secure virtualization and scalable deployment. It supports 4-socket capable topologies (platform-dependent) via multiple UPI links, enabling growth from single-socket nodes to larger SMP configurations while keeping operational consistency across fleets.

Intel designs the Xeon Scalable family to deliver validated reliability, enterprise security features, and long lifecycle alignment with data centre qualification processes. The Intel Xeon Gold 6240 benefits from this engineering focus through robust RAS capabilities, platform interoperability expectations, and broad ecosystem support for LGA3647 infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• Virtualized infrastructure and VM consolidation
• OLTP databases and enterprise application servers
• HPC and analytics with AVX-512 acceleration
• NVMe storage and IO control-plane services
