Intel · Xeon Gold · 2018 · LGA3647
The Intel Xeon Gold 6162 is a server processor with 24 cores, released in 2018 at an MSRP of $3,115. It is part of the Xeon Gold lineup, using the Xeon Scalable platform, and fits the LGA3647 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Skylake-SP" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 48 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon Gold 6162 has a base clock of 1.9 GHz and can boost up to 3.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Skylake-SP" silicon on a 14nm process node. This processor supports DDR4 memory across 6 channels, up to 768GB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 150W, the Xeon Gold 6162 runs hot and requires a capable cooling setup. The cache hierarchy consists of 64KB/core of L1, 1MB/core of L2, and 33MB of L3 cache.
1st-generation Xeon Scalable (Skylake-SP) Gold part with 24 cores at 1.9GHz base / 3.5GHz turbo and 33MB L3 in a 150W envelope, launched 2018. Gold 6100-series parts get two AVX-512 FMA units per core, DDR4-2666 support and three UPI links for four-socket systems.
