Server processor for dense compute

The Intel Xeon 6740P is a 48-core server processor built for dual-socket platforms that need high thread density. It targets workloads such as virtualisation, database serving and high-performance computing where 96 threads and 288 MB of L3 cache reduce contention.

FCLGA 4710 platform requirements

The CPU fits the FCLGA 4710 socket and relies on a motherboard that provides eight DDR5 6400 memory channels and 88 PCI Express 5.0 lanes. Cooling is not included so the builder must supply a solution rated for 270 W thermal design power. Scalability is limited to two sockets.

Capacity and headroom

The integrated memory controller supports up to 4 TB of DDR5 across eight channels giving ample headroom for in-memory databases. All-core turbo reaches 3.3 GHz while single-core turbo peaks at 3.8 GHz. Workloads that exceed 48 cores or require more than two sockets will need a different processor tier.

Questions about this item

How does the 270 W TDP affect sustained all-core performance?

The processor maintains a 3.3 GHz all-core turbo frequency within its 270 W thermal design power, so sustained workloads run at that speed provided the cooling solution can dissipate the full heat load.

What noise and heat should I expect from a cooler handling 270 W continuously?

A cooler rated for at least 270 W is required; noise and temperature will depend entirely on the specific air or liquid cooler you choose, as no cooling device is included with the processor.

Which motherboard socket and memory type are mandatory for this CPU?

The CPU requires an FCLGA 4710 socket and DDR5 memory running up to 6400 MT/s across eight channels; no other socket or memory generation is compatible.
