Intel Xeon Gold 6338 32 Cores 64 Threads 3.2GHz P+ (LGA 4189) CD8068904572501 Server CPU

High-Density Data Center Server CPU architecture with the Intel Xeon Gold 6338 for LGA4189 platforms (SKU CD8068904572501)

The Intel Xeon Gold 6338 is a 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable “Ice Lake” server CPU designed for enterprise compute nodes where predictable multicore throughput and platform I/O headroom are required. With 32 cores and 64 threads, the Intel Xeon Gold 6338 targets 2-socket virtualization hosts and general-purpose compute pools, aligning core density with strong per-socket consolidation while maintaining data center reliability expectations.

For memory-bound services, the Intel Xeon Gold 6338 supports DDR4-3200 with ECC, enabling stable operation in large-memory footprints typical of databases, analytics, and VDI. Expansion is driven by 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes, allowing balanced attachment of NVMe storage, high-speed networking, and accelerators without oversubscription. Intel VMD streamlines NVMe management and supports robust storage architectures, while 3 UPI links enable 2S scalability for consistent cross-socket performance in clustered enterprise deployments.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon Gold 6338?

The Intel Xeon Gold 6338 delivers a pragmatic density-to-performance profile for standardizing 1U/2U compute fleets while retaining 2S scalability when needed. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338 pairs broad virtualization features with enterprise security controls to support multitenant consolidation, and its PCIe 4.0 I/O budget reduces platform compromises when mixing NVMe and high-bandwidth networking in the same node.

Intel designs Xeon Scalable CPUs around platform longevity, validation discipline, and predictable behavior under sustained load. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338 fits established LGA4189 ecosystems with Intel C621A/C627A/C629A chipsets, aligning with modern data center standards for ECC memory, secure boot and attestation workflows, and hardware-assisted isolation.

Key Applications:

• 2-socket virtualization and private cloud hosts
• Database and in-memory analytics on DDR4-3200
• HPC and engineering simulation with AVX-512
• CPU-based AI inference with Intel DL Boost
• NVMe-centric software-defined storage nodes
