The Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 is a 48‑core, 96‑thread 4th‑generation “Sapphire Rapids” Xeon Scalable processor built on Intel 7 (10 nm class) for dual‑socket FCLGA4677 servers. It runs at a 2.10 GHz base frequency with Max Turbo up to 3.80 GHz, has 105 MB of L3 cache, supports four 16 GT/s Intel UPI links, and carries a 350 W TDP, targeting very demanding multi‑threaded enterprise and cloud workloads that need high per‑socket throughput and strong per‑core performance.
The processor supports up to 4 TB of DDR5‑4800 ECC memory across 8 channels and 80 lanes of PCIe 5.0, enabling massive memory bandwidth and I/O capacity for NVMe storage, high‑speed networking, and accelerators. It also integrates accelerators and technologies including Intel AMX, Intel DL Boost, Intel DSA, Intel Speed Select (Core Power/Base/Turbo), Intel Resource Director Technology, and a comprehensive security and virtualization stack with Intel TDX, SGX (up to 512 GB EPC), Total Memory Encryption, VT‑x, VT‑d, EPT, OS Guard, TXT, Boot Guard, Run Sure, and more, making the Xeon Platinum 8468 a strong choice for HPC clusters, AI/ML, large in‑memory databases, and mission‑critical virtualized/cloud infrastructures.
