18-core Xeon Gold processor

This HPE Xeon Gold 6240 is an 18-core server processor running at 2.60 GHz with 25 MB of L3 cache. It is built on 14 nm process technology and has a thermal design power of 150 W. The CPU uses the Socket 3647 interface and includes 64-bit support. It is supplied as a new processor upgrade.

Suited for Socket 3647 upgrades

This processor suits administrators upgrading compatible HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers that use the Socket 3647 platform. It is not for buyers whose systems require a different socket type, a lower power envelope, or a higher core count than 18. Shops needing a different thermal profile or socket interface should look at other parts.

Socket 3647 compatibility decides fit

The single specification that decides fit is the CPU socket type: this unit only fits motherboards with a Socket 3647 (LGA3647) socket. Verify the server board uses this exact socket before purchase. No other socket will accept this processor.

Questions about this item

What socket and clearance does the 6240 need to fit in a ProLiant DL360 Gen10?

The processor uses Socket 3647 and measures 3 inches wide by 2.2 inches deep, so the server's CPU tray must accommodate those dimensions.

Which step is often missed when installing this 150 W Xeon Gold chip?

Applying fresh thermal paste and torquing the heatsink retention screws in the prescribed cross pattern are critical; skipping either causes overheating.

When will the 6240 require maintenance or replacement?

Plan to reapply thermal compound every few years and verify fan operation; the 150 W TDP means sustained cooling health determines long-term reliability.
