The Intel Xeon Gold 6252N is a 24-core, 48-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), a proven SKU for B2B channels serving enterprise server builds, edge deployments, and network-optimized workloads. For resellers and system integrators, this part is a reliable line item for virtualization hosts, storage controllers, and dual-socket compute nodes where high core density and mature RAS capabilities are required. Batch-to-batch consistency is maintained across our inventory, so mixed shipments within the same procurement cycle carry the same stepping and specification profile. Base and turbo frequencies may differ between marketing listings and the specification table below — the table figures are authoritative for procurement and tender documentation.

Procurement Overview
Stock is held in wholesale quantities with ongoing replenishment, supporting both one-off volume orders and scheduled repeat deliveries for integrators running continuous server build programs. Each shipment is packed in anti-static trays or original retail boxes depending on order size, and units are inspected and serialized before dispatch to simplify downstream warranty tracking.
All units ship with standard warranty coverage and a structured RMA process: defective units reported within the warranty window are replaced or credited after verification, minimizing downtime for your production lines. Export documentation is provided with every shipment; products carry CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance, and we can supply conformity paperwork on request for customs clearance and tender submissions.
Good to know
- Compatibility: Requires an FCLGA3647 motherboard with a C620-series chipset and appropriate BIOS support for Cascade Lake — earlier Skylake-generation firmware may need an update before this CPU is recognized.
- Family positioning: Within the 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable stack, Gold-tier parts like the 6252N sit above Bronze/Silver in core count and memory bandwidth, while the N suffix indicates a network/edge-optimized variant; it offers a more cost-effective density point than Platinum SKUs for 2S builds.
- Integration note: This is a high-TDP (140 W) dual-socket-capable part — confirm chassis thermal design and memory population rules to achieve DDR4-2933 speeds before committing to your BOM.
