The Intel Xeon Gold 6140 (18 cores / 36 threads, 2.30 GHz base / 3.70 GHz turbo, 140 W TDP) is a first-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor (Skylake-SP, FCLGA3647) that remains in strong demand among system integrators and IT procurement teams servicing the large installed base of dual-socket C620-series server platforms. Typical applications include virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute nodes, and storage or database systems.
For resellers: this is a discontinued part, so supply comes from new-old-stock, pulls, and tested refurbished channels. We clearly label the grade of every lot quoted, and all units pass functional testing before dispatch. Batch consistency can be guaranteed for orders requiring matched stepping/S-Spec — please specify this requirement at inquiry stage so we can allocate from a single batch.
Warranty and RMA handling are structured for B2B volumes rather than retail: each shipment carries a defined DOA/RMA window with per-unit serial numbers recorded, simplifying traceability and after-sales processing for your downstream customers. Standard export documentation is provided, and units are shipped in compliance with CE, FCC, and RoHS requirements.
Lead times depend on lot size and grade selection: small quantities of tested stock can typically ship within a few business days, while larger volume orders or batch-matched allocations require confirmation of availability. To check current stock, grade options, and volume pricing, request a wholesale quote with your target quantity and delivery destination.

Good to know (integration guidance)
- Requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a C620-series or equivalent Skylake-SP chipset; integrators should confirm BIOS support for first-generation Xeon Scalable before pairing with newer boards.
- Within the Gold tier, the 6140 sits above 12-core 6126-class parts and below the 24-core Platinum lineup — a common choice for service and refresh contracts balancing core count against the 140 W power envelope.
- For maintenance and spares contracts, we can quote mixed-grade bundles (new-old-stock plus tested pulls) to optimize cost per unit across large fleets.
Wholesale & Procurement Notes
- MOQ negotiable depending on grade and stock position.
- Tiered volume pricing available — request a wholesale quote for your quantity band.
- Typical lead time: 2–5 business days for in-stock lots; batch-matched orders quoted individually.
- Packing options: anti-static bulk trays or individual retail-style boxes; export cartons with DHL/FedEx/air freight shipping.
- RMA window: 30 days DOA coverage with serial-number traceability on every unit.
