Intel Xeon 6747P — 48-Core Granite Rapids Platform for Hybrid HPC, AI Preprocessing, and Ultra-Dense Enterprise Compute

The Intel Xeon 6747P stands as one of the most compute-dense Granite Rapids processors designed for dual-socket and high-bandwidth enterprise systems. With 48 performance cores, 96 threads, a 2.7 GHz base frequency, and turbo boosts reaching 3.8 GHz, it provides a blend of raw throughput and predictable latency required in modern AI-assisted data centers. The architecture is optimized for multistage computational pipelines where frontend request processing, feature engineering, and model inference must operate in parallel without saturating CPU resources.

A key strength of the 6747P is its ability to maintain stable performance across workloads characterized by large, irregular datasets. The processor’s extensive L3 cache and advanced memory subsystem reduce bottlenecks in workloads such as deep semantic search, vector similarity matching, embedding generation, distributed graph analytics, and low-latency personalization services. This makes it particularly effective for enterprises operating recommender systems, fraud detection pipelines, conversational AI stacks, or any application requiring real-time model execution on dynamic data flows.

The 8-channel DDR5 memory architecture running at up to 6400 MT/s enables exceptionally high sustained bandwidth. This is essential for high-density in-memory databases, streaming frameworks, simulation engines, and numerical solvers that require immediate access to large contiguous datasets. The high throughput and low-latency characteristics of the DDR5 subsystem ensure that the CPU can fully utilize its 48-core design without frequent stalls or memory-related slowdowns.

Another defining capability is the 88 PCIe 5.0 lanes, providing a foundation for GPU clusters, FPGA accelerators, computational storage devices, and high-speed networking solutions (100–400 GbE). Systems built around the Xeon 6747P can scale horizontally and vertically, supporting multi-node AI training environments, multi-GPU inference servers, NVMe-over-Fabrics nodes, or HPC clusters where heterogeneous compute resources must communicate with minimal overhead.

The Xeon 6747P is engineered for compute layers where both breadth of parallelism and I/O density dictate overall system performance. It excels in:

• AI inference and preprocessing tiers for ranking, scoring, and feature assembly
• High-bandwidth OLAP systems and real-time business intelligence engines
• Multi-stage ETL and event-driven pipelines with continuous data ingestion
• HPC workloads using dense matrix algebra, sparse solvers, and iterative methods
• Digital twins and simulation frameworks requiring consistent multi-thread scaling
• Multi-tenant cloud platforms with strict SLA and P99 latency requirements

Whereas some Granite Rapids SKUs emphasize peak turbo performance, the 6747P prioritizes sustained multi-thread throughput, making it ideal for environments where workload concurrency and dataset size scale rapidly. It is a strategic fit for AI-driven enterprises, engineering organizations, and cloud service providers seeking a durable compute platform capable of supporting the next decade of data-intensive workloads.
