Xeon Platinum 8460Y+ 40-core server processor

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8460Y+ is a 40-core, 80-thread server CPU built for dual-socket platforms. It targets data-centre workloads such as virtualisation, large-scale databases and high-performance computing where core density and memory bandwidth matter. The processor uses the LGA 4677 socket and operates at a 2.0 GHz base frequency.

Installation requires LGA 4677 socket

The package contains the processor only; a compatible heatsink or liquid cooler rated for 300 W must be sourced separately. Mounting follows the standard LGA 4677 pattern, but the high thermal design power demands robust airflow and secure pressure distribution. Verify motherboard BIOS revision supports Sapphire Rapids before seating the chip.

4 TB DDR5 capacity across eight channels

Eight memory channels accept DDR5 at up to 4800 MT/s single DIMM per channel or 4400 MT/s two DIMMs per channel, reaching a 4 TB maximum. Eighty PCIe 5.0 lanes provide generous I/O for accelerators, storage and networking. Workloads exceeding 4 TB memory or requiring more than two sockets will outgrow this processor.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 40 cores and 80 threads are active after installation?

Check the operating frequency reading of 2.0 GHz and max turbo of 3.70 GHz in BIOS or OS monitoring tools to verify the processor is running at its specified speeds

Does the box include a cooling solution or do I need to buy one separately?

The processor is sold without a cooling device so a compatible LGA 4677 cooler rated for 300 W must be purchased separately

Which DDR5 speed should I choose for 1DPC versus 2DPC configurations?

Use DDR5 4800 MT/s modules for 1DPC and DDR5 4400 MT/s modules for 2DPC to match the integrated memory controller specifications
