32-core Xeon Gold 6430 for dual-socket servers

This 32-core processor delivers 64 threads at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with a 3.4 GHz maximum turbo. It targets dual-socket server platforms that require high core density and large memory capacity. The 60 MB L3 cache supports demanding virtualisation and database workloads.

DDR5-4800 eight-channel memory and PCIe 5.0 limits

The integrated controller runs DDR5 at 4800 MT/s across eight channels with a 4 TB maximum capacity per socket. PCI Express 5.0 provides 80 lanes for high-bandwidth accelerators and storage. The 270 W thermal design power requires server-class cooling and power delivery.

Verify LGA 4677 socket and dual-socket board support

Confirm the motherboard uses the LGA 4677 socket and supports the processor in a two-socket configuration. Ensure the platform firmware is current for Emerald Rapids core recognition. Check that the chassis airflow and power infrastructure can sustain 270 W per processor under full load.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 32-core Xeon Gold 6430 or a model with fewer cores for my server?

The 32-core Xeon Gold 6430 delivers 64 threads at a 2.1 GHz base frequency, scaling to 3.4 GHz max turbo. Choose it when your workloads need high parallel throughput; a lower-core model would reduce simultaneous thread capacity.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean once the Xeon Gold 6430 is installed in a server?

The 2.1 GHz base clock is the guaranteed all-core frequency under the 270 W TDP. In practice the processor will run at this speed continuously when all 32 cores are loaded, and can lift to 3.4 GHz when thermal headroom allows.

How does the LGA 4677 socket and PCIe 5.0 interface affect expansion limits?

The LGA 4677 socket supports 8-channel DDR5-4800 memory up to 4 TB and provides 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes, capping total I/O bandwidth and peripheral connectivity for the platform.
