Intel · Xeon Platinum · 2019 · LGA3647
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8260Y is a server processor with 24 cores, released in 2019. It is part of the Xeon Platinum 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 48 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon Platinum 8260Y has a base clock of 2.4 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 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 165W, the Xeon Platinum 8260Y 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.
Carries Intel's 'Y' suffix for Speed Select Technology, allowing dynamic reconfiguration of core count and frequency profile after deployment.
