The Intel® Xeon® Gold 6238R Processor is a high-core-count enterprise CPU engineered to deliver substantial throughput for heavily parallel and virtualized data-center workloads. With a base frequency of 2.20 GHz, a max turbo frequency of 4.00 GHz, and a 38.5 MB cache, it targets scenarios such as large-scale virtualization, big data analytics, container orchestration platforms, and scale-out application tiers that benefit from many efficiently clocked cores. Its 165 W TDP positions it as a powerful workhorse for performance-focused dual-socket servers.
Equipped with 28 cores and 56 threads, the Xeon Gold 6238R delivers very high compute density, enabling operators to host more VMs, containers, or microservices per node and improve overall resource utilization. It supports up to 1 TB of DDR4-2933 ECC memory across six channels and works with Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory, making it suitable for memory-intensive environments such as in-memory analytics and large caching tiers. Support for Intel® AVX-512, Intel® Deep Learning Boost, Intel® Hyper-Threading, and Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows it to accelerate AI inference, scientific workloads, and vector-heavy analytics tasks while maintaining good performance-per-watt.
Designed for dual-socket (2S) configurations with up to 48 PCI Express 3.0 lanes per socket, the Intel Xeon Gold 6238R is ideal for dense compute nodes in modern data centers and private clouds. Its combination of high core count, sizable cache, and strong memory support makes it a preferred choice for service providers and enterprises consolidating many workloads onto fewer physical machines without compromising reliability or uptime. For organizations seeking a robust platform for 24×7 multi-tenant environments and high-throughput analytics, the 6238R offers an excellent mix of scalability, raw performance, and mature RAS capabilities.
