The Intel Xeon Gold 6146 is a 12-core, 24-thread Skylake-SP processor frequently requested by resellers and system integrators building or refreshing LGA 3647 server platforms. With a 4.2 GHz max turbo frequency — among the highest in the first-generation Xeon Scalable Gold line — it is well suited to virtualization hosts, database servers, and per-core-performance-driven compute nodes. We supply this SKU to B2B buyers for dual-socket (2S) deployments and platform refresh projects, with stock levels, batch consistency, and export documentation handled to wholesale standards.
Supply & Procurement Overview
Units are sourced in consistent batches, and tray/boxed options can be matched to your order requirements. Where a project requires multiple sockets or phased delivery, we verify batch and stepping uniformity across the allocation so mixed silicon does not complicate qualification or RMA handling.

Deployment Notes for Integrators
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard with Skylake-SP platform support; validate BIOS compatibility and VRM/cooling headroom for the 165 W TDP, particularly in dense 1U/2U builds common in rack integration projects.
- Within the Xeon Scalable Gold family, the 6146 trades core count (versus 6148/6150) for higher base (3.2 GHz) and turbo (4.2 GHz) clocks — a trade-off worth flagging to end customers choosing between per-core speed and thread density.
- For 2S builds, ship matched pairs and populate all 6 DDR4-2666 memory channels per socket to deliver rated bandwidth in customer acceptance testing.
