Engineer's Note: The Intel Xeon Gold 6240R pairs 24 cores / 48 threads with a 2.40 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.00 GHz on demand and 35.75 MB of on-die cache, making it a drop-in candidate for latency-sensitive business applications. Its FCLGA3647 socket means it slots into existing platforms without board redesign. Positioned as the workhorse tier of the Scalable family, balancing per-core speed and core density, it is built for sustained multi-user workloads.
1. 35.75 MB of shared cache: a large last-level cache keeps hot working sets on-die, cutting memory round-trips for databases and compilers. Fewer main-memory accesses translate directly into lower average latency and better tail performance under load — often the difference you feel before any benchmark confirms it.
2. FCLGA3647 platform compatibility: matching sockets across your fleet simplifies spares management — one processor SKU covers many chassis generations, and upgrades become a socket swap rather than a board replacement. That matters at 3 a.m. when a node needs to be back in service before morning.
3. Memory platform on the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R: support for DDR4-2933, up to 1 TB of RAM, 140.8 GB/s of peak bandwidth. This is the headroom in-memory databases and dense VM farms need — capacity for growth, bandwidth for the data streams in between.
4. 2.40 GHz base / 4.00 GHz turbo: the frequency governor drops light threads onto boosted cores, so single-threaded paths (license checks, stored procedures, log processing) finish fast while background jobs keep the remaining cores saturated. The result is responsive interactive performance without sacrificing aggregate throughput.
5. 24 cores / 48 threads: hardware multi-threading lets each physical core run two instruction streams, so concurrent workloads — latency-sensitive business applications — share the die without context-switch overhead. When you size licenses or plan VM placement, thread count is the number the scheduler actually sees.
When you spec out latency-sensitive business applications, the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R turns architectural decisions into predictable outcomes. Its 24-core layout sizes the node for expected concurrency, the 4.00 GHz turbo headroom keeps interactive paths responsive, and 1 TB of addressable memory gives the platform room to grow. Every unit passes functional testing before shipment, and our bulk-pricing desk keeps multi-socket refresh projects inside budget.
Q: Is the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R compatible with my server?
A: The Intel Xeon Gold 6240R uses the FCLGA3647 socket. Check your motherboard's qualified processor list — any chassis with that socket and matching BIOS support will run it. Our team can confirm compatibility if you share your server model.
Q: What workloads suit 24-core processors best?
A: With 24 cores / 48 threads, this processor is sized for multi-threaded server workloads: virtualization hosts, database servers, and application consolidation. Single-threaded-light environments (file servers, internal tools) will leave headroom unused.
Q: Does this CPU include a cooler?
A: Server processors are typically installed with chassis-specific heat sinks, so none is included. Match the heat sink to your server model for correct airflow direction — our team can advise on the right part.
Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for fleet upgrades?
A: Yes. Multi-socket refresh projects and fleet orders get consolidated pricing — request a quote through the form on this page with your target quantity, and our team responds with an offer typically within one business day.
Q: What memory does it require?
A: The platform supports DDR4-2933. Use ECC registered memory (RDIMM/LRDIMM) — desktop UDIMMs are not compatible with Xeon sockets. Faster modules will downclock to the processor's rated speed.
