The Intel® Xeon® Gold 6248R Processor is a high-core-count, performance-oriented enterprise CPU designed for dense virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and analytics workloads. With a base frequency of 3.00 GHz, a max turbo frequency up to 4.00 GHz, and a 35.75 MB cache, it delivers a strong combination of core density and clock speed, making it suitable for running many virtual machines, containers, or microservices on each server node. Its 205 W TDP positions it as a powerful choice for dual-socket systems that must sustain heavy, continuous utilization.
Featuring 24 cores and 48 threads, the Xeon Gold 6248R enables high consolidation ratios in virtualized environments, allowing organizations to reduce the number of physical servers while maintaining performance headroom. It supports DDR4-2933 ECC memory and works with Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory, providing large, flexible memory configurations tailored to in-memory analytics, large databases, and memory-intensive application stacks. With technologies such as Intel® Hyper-Threading, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Intel® AVX-512, and Intel® Deep Learning Boost, it accelerates a wide range of workloads from traditional enterprise applications to AI inference and data analytics.
Designed for dual-socket (2S) platforms with enterprise-grade RAS and extensive PCIe connectivity, the Intel Xeon Gold 6248R fits well into modern data-center and private cloud architectures that demand both performance and scalability. Its combination of 24 cores, high base clock, and robust memory support makes it an excellent candidate for compute nodes hosting large virtualization clusters, Kubernetes environments, and mixed application workloads. For organizations seeking a strong balance of throughput, consolidation efficiency, and long-term stability in the Cascade Lake generation, the 6248R offers a compelling solution.
