32-core Xeon Max 9462 for dense compute
The Intel Xeon Max 9462 is a 32-core server processor built on 10 nm Sapphire Rapids silicon. It runs at a 2.7 GHz base frequency and reaches 3.5 GHz max turbo across 64 threads. The LGA 4677 package targets two-socket platforms that need high core counts for virtualisation, HPC or large-memory databases.
75 MB L3 cache and eight-channel DDR5 change
A 75 MB L3 cache feeds all cores with low-latency data, while the integrated controller drives eight DDR5 channels at up to 4800 MT/s single-DIMM or 4400 MT/s dual-DIMM. This combination raises sustained bandwidth for memory-bound workloads and supports up to 4 TB per socket without extra memory buffers.
350 W TDP and PCIe 5.0 shape rack deployment
The 350 W thermal design power demands robust socket cooling; no cooler ships in the box. Eighty PCI Express 5.0 lanes provide high-speed I/O for accelerators, storage or networking cards. Two-socket scalability lets builders double cores and memory channels within a single chassis.

Questions about this item
Will the 350 W thermal design power require a specific cooling solution for the Xeon Max 9462?
The processor ships without a cooler, so a 350 W-rated LGA 4677 heatsink or liquid block must be sourced separately.
At what point does the 3.5 GHz max turbo frequency become the limiting factor during sustained workloads?
Turbo drops when the 350 W power envelope or the 10 nm silicon thermal limit is reached, whichever occurs first under continuous load.
How much fan noise and case heat should I expect when all 32 cores run at 2.7 GHz all day?
Expect continuous 350 W heat output; acoustic level depends entirely on the third-party cooler chosen for the LGA 4677 socket.
