Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y 16 Cores 32 Threads 4.1GHz E (LGA 4677) PK8071305120102 Server CPU

High-Density Server CPU Platform enabling DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 I/O with the Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y (PK8071305120102)

The Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y is a 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids-SP) processor for LGA4677 servers, designed for 2-socket rack deployments where predictable throughput and I/O headroom are required. With 16 cores and 32 threads, it balances consolidation with per-core performance for enterprise virtualization, HCI nodes, and mixed infrastructure workloads that depend on stable turbo behavior and controlled power envelopes.

Built for modern platform architectures, the Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y enables DDR5 memory at up to 4800MT/s with ECC, supporting large memory footprints for VM density and in-memory services (platform-dependent). PCIe 5.0 expands high-speed connectivity for NVMe storage backplanes, accelerated networking, and GPU/FPGA attach, with up to 80 lanes CPU-dependent to keep east-west traffic and storage I/O from contending for bandwidth. The processor integrates virtualization features such as Intel VT-x, EPT, and VT-d, and adds acceleration and security technologies including Intel AMX, SGX, Total Memory Encryption, AES-NI, and DSA to improve efficiency for encryption, compression, and data movement.
