Intel Xeon Max 9460 PK8071305223300 server processor 40-core 2.2 GHz 350W

Intel Xeon Max 9460 40-core server processor

The Intel Xeon Max 9460 is a 40-core server processor with 80 threads and a base frequency of 2.2 GHz. It targets data-centre workloads that scale across many cores, such as large-scale analytics, scientific modelling and dense virtualisation. The LGA 4677 socket and 2-socket scalability fit standard dual-socket server platforms.

Sustained 350 W thermal design power

A thermal design power of 350 W means the chip is built to run at high utilisation for extended periods when paired with adequate server cooling. The 10 nm Sapphire Rapids architecture and 97.5 MB L3 cache help maintain throughput on memory-intensive tasks without throttling. Turbo frequency reaches 3.5 GHz for burst phases, but sustained loads rely on the base clock and cooling capacity.

LGA 4677 socket, eight-channel DDR5, PCIe 5.0

The processor installs into an LGA 4677 socket and requires a compatible server board with robust power delivery. Eight memory channels support up to 4 TB of DDR5 at 4800 MT/s single-DIMM or 4400 MT/s dual-DIMM per channel. Eighty PCIe 5.0 lanes provide high-bandwidth connectivity for accelerators, storage and networking. No cooling device is included.
