Overview

Intel Xeon 6 is the second processor family across our servers and the usual choice for environments standardized on Intel platforms, for software that benefits from AMX matrix extensions, and for systems that need the highest memory bandwidth with MRDIMM. We supply it as a component for self built systems, upgrades and spares.

Performance core models range from 8 to 128 cores and suit GPU server hosts, databases and HPC. Efficient core models with up to 288 cores suit throughput services, web tiers and microservices where many threads matter more than per thread speed. Built in accelerators handle compression, encryption and data movement.

We confirm socket, BIOS and cooler compatibility against your server model before shipping, and we supply matched pairs for dual socket boards. Processors are original manufacturer parts in boxed or tray packaging with the manufacturer warranty, and common models are kept available for fleet spares and rapid replacement.

Use cases

  • Self built servers
  • Upgrading Xeon 6 platforms
  • Fleet spares
  • CPU inference with AMX
