The Intel Xeon Gold 6144 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the first-generation Intel Xeon Scalable family (Skylake-SP), engineered for deployments where per-core frequency is the deciding factor. For resellers, system integrators, and IT procurement teams, it remains a strong candidate for virtualization hosts, database nodes, and latency-sensitive compute builds on FCLGA3647 platforms — particularly for servicing legacy fleets and maintenance contracts where an EOL part must be matched exactly.
Supply & Procurement Overview
As this SKU is discontinued by Intel, our supply is sourced through vetted excess inventory, tested pulls, and remaining stock channels. Batch consistency is verified before listing: units within an order are drawn from matching lot/STEP codes wherever possible, which is critical for integrators building multi-node clusters that require uniform microcode and firmware behavior. Each unit is inspected and functionally tested prior to dispatch, with test reports available on request for volume buyers.
Warranty and RMA handling is managed centrally through our wholesale channel. Standard coverage covers DOA replacement and return authorization within the stated RMA window, with dedicated account handling for B2B customers to minimize downtime in staged rollouts or service-level commitments. Export-compliant documentation (CE/FCC/RoHS declarations) accompanies shipments, supporting customs clearance and regulatory intake across major destination markets.
Typical lead times depend on stock depth at time of order; commonly requested quantities are frequently available for same-week dispatch, while larger batch orders are confirmed with a firm delivery date at quotation. Whether you are replenishing service stock, fulfilling a tender, or standardizing a refresh project on LGA3647 hardware, our team can align allocation to your project schedule — request a wholesale quote for current stock, batch details, and volume pricing.

Deployment & Integration Guidance
- Platform compatibility: requires an FCLGA3647 socket, typically paired with C620-series chipsets. Integrators should confirm board vendor BIOS support before committing to a build, and provision for the 150 W thermal envelope and DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs.
- Portfolio positioning: within first-generation Xeon Scalable, the 6144 prioritizes sustained frequency over core and UPI count — a deliberate fit for single-thread-bound applications, HFT-adjacent workloads, and application profiles where clock speed outperforms density.
- Sourcing assurance: since this part is EOL, condition and provenance matter. We grade stock clearly (tested pull vs. tray vs. boxed) and disclose lot consistency so integrators can match units across deployments and honor their own downstream warranties.
Wholesale & Procurement Notes
- MOQ negotiable depending on stock depth and order cadence.
- Tiered volume pricing available — request a quote for quantity breaks.
- Typical lead time: 3–7 business days for in-stock quantities; larger batches confirmed at quotation.
- Packing & shipping: anti-static packaging, tray or boxed options, consolidated freight or express dispatch with export documentation.
- RMA window: standard DOA/RMA coverage with dedicated B2B account handling; terms confirmed on the proforma invoice.
