Server processor for multi-socket workloads

The Intel Xeon Gold 6354 is an 18-core, 36-thread CPU built on 10 nm Ice Lake architecture. It runs at a 3.0 GHz base frequency with a 3.60 GHz max turbo and provides 39MB of L3 cache. The 205W TDP targets dual-socket servers handling virtualisation, database or compute tasks.

Installation notes for LGA 4189

The processor seats in an LGA 4189 socket using the platform's retention mechanism; no consumer-style lever is present. Correct torque on the heatsink mounting hardware is critical because uneven pressure can damage the substrate or cause thermal throttling under the 205W design power.

Platform requirements before ordering

Verify the motherboard supports the LGA 4189 socket and delivers 8-channel DDR4 3200 memory population for full bandwidth. Confirm the BIOS revision enables the Ice Lake core and that the power-delivery subsystem is rated for 205W continuous operation. Ensure the chassis airflow and cooler clearance match the thermal envelope.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Xeon Gold 6354 is running at its 3.0 GHz base frequency after installation?

Check the CPU frequency in BIOS or use a monitoring tool such as lscpu on Linux or Task Manager on Windows; it should report 3.0 GHz at idle and up to 3.60 GHz under load.

What comes in the box with the CD8068904571601 and what must I purchase separately?

The tray processor is supplied alone; you must buy a compatible LGA 4189 heatsink rated for 205W and DDR4 3200 memory modules separately.

Which memory configuration should I choose for the 8-channel controller on this 18-core Xeon?

Populate all eight channels with identical DDR4 3200 DIMMs to obtain maximum bandwidth for the 18-core 3.0 GHz processor.
