Intel · Xeon Gold · 2020 · LGA3647
The Intel Xeon Gold 6250L is a server processor with 8 cores, released in 2020 at an MSRP of $6,404. It is part of the Xeon Gold lineup, using the Xeon Scalable platform, and fits the LGA3647 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Cascade Lake" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 16 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon Gold 6250L has a base clock of 3.9 GHz and can boost up to 4.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Cascade Lake" silicon on a 14nm process node. This processor supports DDR4 memory across 6 channels, up to 1TB 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 185W, the Xeon Gold 6250L runs hot and requires a capable cooling setup. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 35.75MB of L3 cache.
Shares the 6250's clock speeds and core count but carries Intel's 'L' suffix, denoting support for a higher maximum memory capacity per socket — intended for memory-dense database and in-memory analytics deployments.
