Intel Xeon Gold 6248R 24c/48t 3.0GHz-4.0GHz 205W (CD8069504449401)

The processor features 24 computing cores and supports 48 threads. Its base clock speed is 3.0 GHz with the capability to automatically boost up to 4.0 GHz in Turbo Boost mode. The L3 cache size is 35.75 MB, and the Thermal Design Power (TDP) is 205 W.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6248R is designed for the FCLGA3647 socket. It requires a motherboard based on the Intel C620 series chipset that supports the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor family (Cascade Lake Refresh). Be sure to check the CPU compatibility list on the motherboard manufacturer’s website before purchasing.

Yes, the Intel Xeon Gold 6248R supports scalability up to two sockets (2S). This allows you to install two of these processors on a single motherboard, resulting in a total of 48 cores and 96 threads for handling highly resource-intensive workloads.

The processor supports DDR4 memory with speeds up to 2933 MHz. It operates with a 6-channel memory architecture and supports Error Correction Code (ECC) modules, which is critical for ensuring server system stability. The maximum supported memory capacity is 1 TB.

The “R” suffix indicates that this is a “Refresh” version of the Cascade Lake processor family. Compared to the original non-R model, this version offers increased core counts, higher clock speeds, and larger cache at a more competitive price point, providing a better price-to-performance ratio.

Since the processor has a TDP of 205 W, it requires a high-efficiency server cooling system. Standard coolers may not be able to handle heat dissipation under load. It is recommended to use substantial heatsinks with strong airflow (typically found in server chassis) or specialized liquid cooling systems certified for LGA 3647 and a TDP of 205W+.

Thanks to its high base frequency (3.0 GHz) combined with a high core count, this processor is ideal for workloads sensitive to both multi-threading and clock speed. Key usage scenarios include virtualization (high VM density), database management, hybrid cloud environments, and High Performance Computing (HPC).

Yes, the processor supports the Intel AVX-512 instruction set. This provides significant acceleration for vector computations, which is particularly useful in scientific modeling, financial analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep learning workloads.

No, like most server processors in this series, the Intel Xeon Gold 6248R does not feature integrated graphics. Display output or graphics processing will require a discrete graphics card or the use of the graphics controller integrated into the motherboard (BMC/IPMI).
