Intel Xeon Max 9470 PK8071305223200 52-core 2.0 GHz server processor

52-core server processor for dense compute

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 is a 52-core, 104-thread server CPU built on 10 nm Sapphire Rapids silicon. It runs at a 2.0 GHz base frequency with a 3.5 GHz maximum turbo and provides 105 MB of L3 cache. The processor fits the LGA 4677 socket and supports 8-channel DDR5 memory up to 4 TB capacity.

Suits memory-heavy HPC and AI workloads

This chip targets high-performance computing, large-model inference and data-analytics tasks that benefit from high core counts and wide memory bandwidth. It is not suited for single-threaded applications that rely on peak frequency alone. Buyers who need more than two-socket scaling should look at other platforms. Workloads requiring integrated graphics or specialised media acceleration will not be served.

Sustained load at 350 W thermal design power

Under continuous heavy utilisation the processor operates at its 350 W TDP, demanding robust cooling infrastructure. The 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes maintain I/O throughput for accelerators and fast storage during long runs. Eight memory channels at up to 4800 MT/s per DIMM keep data flowing to all 52 cores without bottlenecks. AVX-512 and AMX units sustain vector and matrix throughput for extended periods.
