Server-grade Xeon for multi-threaded workloads

The Intel Xeon SRF8Y Gold 6242 delivers 16 cores and 32 threads at a 2.80 GHz base frequency on the FCLGA3647 platform. It targets data-centre and workstation builders who need sustained parallel throughput for virtualisation, rendering or compute clusters.

Sustained multi-core throughput under load

With a 16-core design the processor maintains its base frequency across all cores during extended sessions, avoiding the single-core boost limits that throttle lighter chips. The 0.5000 kg package and 0.250 mm profile fit dense server trays where thermal headroom is managed by chassis airflow rather than a desktop cooler.

Replaces earlier Xeon Scalable CPUs in FCLGA3647

The jump is worthwhile when workloads scale past 8 cores and benefit from the additional 8 cores and 16 threads without a platform change. Buyers who need integrated graphics, single-thread burst speed above all else, or a consumer desktop socket should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 16-core Xeon Gold 6242 produce when it runs at 2.80 GHz all day?

The processor base frequency is 2.80 GHz with 16 cores and 32 threads; sustained heat output depends on your cooler and chassis airflow, which are not included.

What motherboard socket and memory must I already own to install this FCLGA3647 CPU?

You need a motherboard with an FCLGA3647 socket and compatible registered ECC memory supporting up to 1 TB total capacity.

Will this Xeon work in my older LGA3647 platform that currently runs a first-generation Scalable processor?

The SRF8Y is a Cascade Lake part for the FCLGA3647 socket; it requires a motherboard BIOS that supports Cascade Lake, which older boards may lack.
