The Intel Xeon Gold 6338 (3rd Gen Xeon Scalable, Ice Lake-SP) is a high-demand SKU for our reseller and system-integrator customers building dual-socket FCLGA4189 platforms. We supply this processor in bulk quantities for virtualization clusters, cloud infrastructure rollouts, AI inference appliances and enterprise server projects where per-unit cost and batch consistency are critical to the delivery schedule.
Stock is held in sellable volume and units within a single order are shipped from the same batch wherever possible, ensuring matching stepping and SKU for dual-socket builds. Each unit is inspected before dispatch and packed in anti-static, export-grade packaging suitable for air or sea freight.
All shipments are backed by our standard trade warranty with a defined RMA process for defective units; replacements or credits are handled through your account manager to minimize project downtime. Products conform to CE, FCC and RoHS requirements, and export documentation can be provided for your customs clearance. Our sales team supports OEM/ODM procurement, drop-shipment to your customers, and consolidated invoicing for mixed-SKU server builds.
Lead times are typically short for in-stock quantities; for large volume orders or scheduled deliveries, contact our team to arrange allocation. For current volume pricing and allocation, request a wholesale quote.

Integration & Deployment Guidance
- Requires an FCLGA4189 (Socket P+) motherboard; not compatible with 1st/2nd Gen Xeon Scalable boards. Integrators should confirm BIOS support with the board vendor before scheduling deployments.
- For dual-socket provisioning, order CPUs from the same batch to guarantee identical stepping — our fulfillment prioritizes batch matching within a single PO.
- Plan chassis cooling and PSU headroom for the 205 W TDP under sustained multi-node load.
- Ideal for density-focused virtualization and multi-tenant cloud builds; pair with lower-bin Gold SKUs where higher base clocks are needed at the edge of the cluster.
