Intel Xeon 6 6952P 96-core 2.1 GHz server processor PK8072006151500

High-density server processor for scale-out

The Intel Xeon 6 6952P delivers 96 cores and 192 threads in a single socket. A base frequency of 2.1 GHz and a max turbo of 3.9 GHz support dense virtualization and high-throughput computing. The 480 MB L3 cache reduces latency for memory-bound tasks. It targets data centres that need maximum core count per rack unit.

FCLGA 7529 socket with twelve DDR5 channels

The processor mounts in the FCLGA 7529 socket and exposes twelve memory channels running at DDR5 6400. This layout enables up to 3 TB of system memory per socket. Six UPI links at 24 GT/s connect two sockets in a 2S configuration. The pin-out and channel count are built for platforms that prioritize memory bandwidth over expansion slots.

400 W TDP demands robust cooling infrastructure

At a 400 W thermal design power the chip requires liquid or high-capacity air cooling in a server chassis. The 3 nm process helps performance per watt but total heat output remains substantial. Fan speed and acoustic profile depend entirely on the chosen cooling solution and chassis airflow design. Power delivery must sustain 400 W continuously under full load.
