The Intel Xeon Gold 6248 is a 20-core, 40-thread processor belonging to Intel’s 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable portfolio (Cascade Lake). For our wholesale channel, this SKU is a proven volume mover among system integrators building virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute nodes, and storage/application servers, with a 2.50 GHz base clock and 3.90 GHz max turbo frequency.
Units are supplied in consistent batch lots with matched steppings available on request — essential for integrators deploying dual-socket (2S) builds that rely on UPI pairing. Stock status is confirmed before order acceptance, and both tray and boxed packaging options can be mixed within a single purchase order.
Buyers should note the platform requirements: an FCLGA3647 motherboard (typically C621-series chipset) with Cascade Lake BIOS support. 1st Gen Skylake-SP platforms may require a firmware update, and DDR4-2933 operation depends on motherboard capability. The 150 W TDP must be matched with appropriate heatsink and chassis cooling. Our pre-sales team can verify compatibility against your BOM prior to shipment.
All units ship with a standard warranty and structured RMA handling, including fault reporting, return authorization, and replacement or credit processing. Exports are CE, FCC, and RoHS compliant with supporting documentation available for customs and regulatory filing. Typical lead times are short for in-stock quantities, with scheduled batch deliveries available for recurring procurement contracts.
