Intel Xeon 6 6728P 24-core server processor
The Intel Xeon 6 6728P is a 24-core server processor built on the Granite Rapids architecture using a 3 nm manufacturing process. It operates at a 2.7 GHz base frequency with 48 threads and supports DDR5 6400 memory up to 4 TB capacity. The FCLGA 4710 socket design targets multi-socket platforms with four UPI links at 24 GT/s.
Suited for high-density compute
This processor suits deployments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in four-socket or eight-socket configurations. Buyers who require integrated graphics or a lower thermal envelope for single-socket workstations should evaluate other options. The 210 W thermal design demands robust cooling infrastructure not included with the processor.
FCLGA 4710 socket with 88 PCIe 5.0 lanes
The single specification that determines compatibility is the FCLGA 4710 socket paired with 88 lanes of PCI Express 5.0. Motherboards must provide this socket and the supporting chipset to enable the full 144 MB L3 cache, DDR5 6400 controller and four-socket scalability.

Questions about this item
What PCI Express revision does the Xeon 6728P support and how many lanes are available?
The processor provides PCI Express 5.0 with up to 88 lanes for high-speed add-in cards and storage.
Which CPU socket and cooling requirement apply to the PK8072006348601?
It fits an FCLGA 4710 socket and has a 210 W thermal design power; a compatible cooler must be sourced separately.
How is the Xeon 6728P installed in a multi-socket server and what step is often missed?
Install each processor into its FCLGA 4710 socket, populate all DDR5 6400 memory channels per CPU, then enable the four 24 GT/s UPI links in the BIOS so the 4S or 8S system recognises every socket.
