Xeon Gold 6336Y 24-core server processor

The Intel Xeon Gold 6336Y is a 24-core, 48-thread server CPU built on 10 nm Ice Lake architecture. It targets data-centre workloads such as virtualisation, database hosting and high-performance computing. The LGA 4189 socket and eight-channel DDR4 3200 memory controller support large memory configurations. Sixty-four PCIe 4.0 lanes provide ample I/O bandwidth for storage and networking cards.

185 W TDP with base 2.4 GHz and 3.60 GHz turbo

At its 185 W thermal design power the processor runs at a 2.4 GHz base frequency and can reach a 3.60 GHz maximum turbo frequency. The 36 MB L3 cache helps sustain throughput across all 24 cores under sustained load. Cooling solutions must be rated for the full 185 W envelope to maintain stable clocks in dense chassis. Power draw scales with active core count and AVX workload intensity.

Upgrades from lower-core Ice Lake

Moving to this 24-core part makes sense when thread count, memory channels or PCIe lanes become bottlenecks. The eight-channel memory controller and 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes remove constraints found on smaller SKUs. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or lower power envelopes should evaluate other models. Systems limited to six memory channels or fewer PCIe lanes will not utilise the full capability.
