Intel PK8071305223400 Xeon Max 9468 server processor 48-core 2.1 GHz 105 MB L3 350 W

48-core Xeon Max for dense compute

The Intel Xeon Max 9468 delivers 48 cores and 96 threads at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with a 3.5 GHz maximum turbo. A 105 MB L3 cache feeds data to every core while the 10 nm Sapphire Rapids architecture supports 64-bit processing and Intel AMX, AVX-512, AVX2, AVX and SSE4.2 instructions. The processor is built for dual-socket servers that need maximum core density in a single package.

DDR5-4800 controller with eight channels

The integrated memory controller runs DDR5 at up to 4800 MT/s with one DIMM per channel and 4400 MT/s with two DIMMs per channel across eight channels, reaching a 4 TB maximum capacity. PCI Express 5.0 supplies 80 lanes for high-bandwidth accelerators, storage or networking. The 350 W thermal design power sets a firm ceiling that the platform cooling must meet.

LGA 4677 socket requires server-grade cooling

The LGA 4677 land-grid array seats the chip in purpose-built server boards; no cooling device is included. Installation demands a validated heatsink or liquid cold plate rated for the full 350 W dissipation and a chassis airflow plan that sustains it. The 2S scalability link enables a second identical processor for doubled thread count and memory channels.
