Intel Xeon Gold 6342 24-Core Server CPU

The Intel Xeon Gold 6342 is a 24-core server processor built on 10 nm Ice Lake architecture. It runs at a 2.8 GHz base frequency with a 3.50 GHz maximum turbo frequency. The chip provides 48 threads and 36MB of L3 cache for demanding multi-threaded workloads in data centres.

Fits LGA 4189 platforms needing 8-channel DDR4 3200

This processor suits servers requiring 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes and high core density for virtualisation or database tasks. It is not for systems that cannot accommodate a 230W thermal design power or motherboards lacking the LGA 4189 socket and 8-channel memory architecture.

230W TDP defines cooling and power infrastructure

The 230W thermal design power is the critical specification that determines whether this part fits your deployment. Adequate cooling solutions and power delivery capable of sustaining this load are mandatory for stable operation.

Questions about this item

Does the 230W TDP require a server chassis with high-airflow cooling?

The 230W thermal design power demands a server chassis and cooler rated for at least that heat output; typical workstation coolers are insufficient.

What noise level can be expected from a cooler handling 230W continuously?

A cooler capable of dissipating 230W will run its fans at high speed under sustained load, producing noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room.

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

This processor requires an LGA 4189 socket motherboard with DDR4 memory support; it will not fit any other socket or memory generation.
