The Intel Xeon Gold 6346 is a 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor (Ice Lake-SP) manufactured on a 10 nm process, delivering 16 cores and 32 threads at a 3.10 GHz base frequency. For channel partners, this SKU is a steady-demand item for dual-socket server builds targeting virtualization hosts, compute clusters, and storage appliances where strong per-core throughput matters. Bulk inventory is held in batch-controlled stock, and we recommend verifying LGA 4189 platform and BIOS support on target motherboards before placing volume orders.

Supply & Channel Information
- Batch consistency: Volume orders are fulfilled from matched lots with identical stepping and S-Spec wherever possible, simplifying image deployment and fleet management for system integrators and data center builders.
- Warranty & RMA: Standard B2B warranty coverage with a structured RMA process; defective units are verified, replaced, or credited per agreed terms, minimizing downtime for reseller commitments.
- Lead times: In-stock quantities ship on short notice; larger call-offs may be scheduled in tranches to align with your project milestones.
- Export compliance: Units ship with CE, FCC, and RoHS conformity documentation, supporting resale into regulated markets. Buyers are responsible for import compliance in the destination region.
- Platform note: LGA 4189 (Socket P+) parts are exclusive to Ice Lake-SP platforms such as C620A-series boards and will not fit older Cascade Lake sockets — confirm compatibility with your board vendor before ordering.
- Thermal planning: The 205 W TDP requires adequate chassis airflow and PSU headroom; we can advise on reference cooling configurations for multi-node rollouts.
- Positioning: Within the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable lineup, the Gold 6346 offers a popular balance of 16 high-clock cores versus higher-core-count SKUs, making it a reliable mover for channel inventory.
