20-Core Xeon Gold Processor
The Intel Xeon Gold 6242R is a 20-core server processor built for multi-threaded workloads in data-centre and cloud environments. It delivers 40 threads at a 3.10 GHz base frequency with a 4.10 GHz maximum turbo frequency. The 14 nm design targets mainstream compute, network and storage tasks.
Socket 3647 Compatibility
This CPU requires a motherboard equipped with the Socket 3647 interface. The physical and electrical specification is the single factor that determines whether the processor can be installed and operated in a given platform.
205 W Thermal Design Power
The 205 W TDP defines the sustained heat output that the cooling solution must dissipate. With a 76 °C maximum case temperature, the processor handles heavy multi-core loads when paired with adequate server-grade cooling; it is not suited for chassis or coolers rated below this thermal envelope.
