The Intel Xeon Gold 6438Y+ is a 32-core, 64-thread processor based on the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platform (Sapphire Rapids), and is one of the most frequently requested SKUs among our reseller and system-integrator customers for dual-socket server builds targeting virtualization, general-purpose compute and storage nodes. With 8 channels of DDR5-4800, PCIe 5.0 I/O and a 205W TDP, it fits mainstream data-center deployments where memory bandwidth and expansion capacity are priorities. Please note the processor requires an FCLGA4677 socket platform — we recommend confirming motherboard, BIOS and cooling compatibility with your build specification before placing a bulk order.

Supply & Sourcing Overview
Stock for this SKU is held in volume and refreshed in regular batches. Units within a single purchase order are supplied from the same production batch wherever possible, which matters for system integrators who need consistent stepping and firmware behaviour across a multi-node deployment. Batch and date-code information can be provided on request prior to shipment.
All units ship with our standard commercial warranty and a structured RMA process: defective units reported within the RMA window are replaced or credited through a streamlined returns channel, minimizing downtime for your build schedules. For project-based orders, lead times are confirmed at quotation stage, and partial-shipment scheduling is available for phased deployments.
Products supplied through our mall are exported with full compliance documentation and carry CE, FCC and RoHS conformity, supporting customs clearance and resale in most overseas markets. The Gold 6438Y+ is particularly well suited to resellers stocking mainstream enterprise CPUs and to integrators building virtualization hosts, database servers and storage appliances in dual-socket FCLGA4677 platforms. Before ordering, please verify DDR5 RDIMM availability and platform firmware revisions with your system vendor, since memory speed support and maximum capacity depend on the server platform configuration.
