The Intel Xeon Gold 6348 is a 28-core, 56-thread processor from the 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable family (Ice Lake-SP), widely specified by system integrators for virtualization hosts, compute clusters, and storage nodes in two-socket and four-socket server builds. For B2B buyers, this SKU is a high-turnover item for VDI, database, and HPC deployments, and it pairs well with volume server assembly projects. Note that it requires an FCLGA4189 socket — we advise integrators to confirm motherboard and BIOS compatibility across their build matrix before committing to volume orders.

Supply & Sourcing Information
- Stock and batch consistency: Units are supplied in matched production batches where possible, with consistent stepping and S-Spec per order line — important for integrators deploying multi-node clusters that require uniform configuration.
- Platform compatibility: This part fits only FCLGA4189 Ice Lake-SP platforms and is not backward compatible with Cascade Lake/Cooper Lake sockets. Procurement teams should validate chassis, VRM, and BIOS support before placing volume orders.
- Product positioning: Within the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable stack, the Gold 6348 sits in the upper Gold tier — a strong margin and performance point below the Platinum line, suitable for resellers targeting virtualization and multi-socket deployments.
- Thermal planning: With a 235 W TDP, verify power and cooling budgets across the target platforms; we can supply tray or boxed configurations depending on project requirements.
- Warranty and RMA: All units ship with standard wholesale warranty coverage and a defined RMA process; replacement or credit handling is coordinated through our support desk to minimize downtime for your deployments.
- Export compliance: Shipments are CE, FCC, and RoHS compliant with full export documentation provided, supporting cross-border procurement and customs clearance.
