Intel Xeon 6 6520P 2.4 GHz 144 MB, LGA 4710 - processor (WOF)

The Dell Intel Xeon 6 6520P is a 24-core processor designed for enterprise servers and workstations. It features 24 cores and 48 threads for multi-threaded computing tasks. The processor operates at a base clock frequency of 2.4 GHz and supports a maximum boost frequency of 4.0 GHz. It is intended for systems requiring consistent throughput for virtualization or data analysis, and its architecture is optimized for high-capacity parallel processing. The model name denotes its position in the Performance tier of the Xeon 6 series.

This processor uses an eight-channel memory architecture for high system bandwidth. It connects to the motherboard via PCI Express 5.0 for communication with storage and expansion hardware. The thermal design power is 210 W, which requires a dedicated, customer-supplied cooling solution for stable operation. This rating reflects the processor’s capacity for sustained multi-core performance under heavy loads. As it is designed for server use, the package does not include a heatsink or cooling fan. It supports DDR5 memory to ensure compatibility with modern system standards.

• 144 MB Smart Cache: provides a high-capacity buffer for low-latency data access.
• LGA 4710 socket: the physical and electrical interface required for motherboard compatibility.
• 4000 GB maximum internal memory: supports large RAM configurations for memory-intensive enterprise applications.
• 6400 MHz memory clock speed: enables high-frequency data transfer between the processor and system memory.
• Server/Workstation segment: hardware optimized for 24/7 professional environments.
• No integrated graphics: requires a discrete GPU or a motherboard with an integrated controller for video output.
