The Intel Xeon Gold 6428N is a 32-core, 64-thread processor based on the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platform (Sapphire Rapids), positioned as a volume item for resellers, system integrators, and IT procurement teams building virtualization hosts, compute clusters, and storage or appliance nodes where core density and memory bandwidth matter more than single-thread clock speed. The low 1.80 GHz base with 3.80 GHz turbo makes this SKU a strong fit for throughput-oriented, well-parallelized deployments typical of data center refresh and private cloud projects.
We stock this SKU in allocation-ready quantities for B2B buyers, with batch consistency guaranteed on multi-unit orders — units within a single purchase order are drawn from the same production lot wherever possible to simplify firmware validation and imaging across your deployment fleet. All units ship with standard commercial warranty coverage and a structured RMA process; contact our sales desk for warranty terms by destination market.
Typical lead time is 3–7 business days for in-stock quantities, with scheduled deliveries available for phased rollouts. All shipments are packaged in anti-static OEM/Tray handling and can be configured for consolidated pallet freight or air courier depending on order size and destination. Export documentation is prepared in accordance with CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance requirements, and we can supply compliance certificates on request for your import clearance and end-customer documentation.
Compatibility note for integrators: this part requires an FCLGA4677 socket motherboard with Sapphire Rapids platform support and DDR5 memory; it is not a drop-in upgrade for Cascade Lake or Ice Lake generation systems. Confirm chassis thermal capacity for the 185 W TDP profile and current BIOS/firmware support before committing to volume orders. For pricing on volume commitments, mixed-SKU consolidation, or framework agreements, request a wholesale quote from our sales team.

Procurement & Integration Guidance
- Platform requirement: FCLGA4677 socket board with Sapphire Rapids support and DDR5 ECC RDIMM — not compatible with older Cascade Lake/Ice Lake Xeon platforms, so validate server BOM before issuing purchase orders.
- Within the Gold family, the 6428N serves as the high-core-count, lower-base-clock option — well suited to BOMs for virtualization density, batch compute nodes, and storage controller builds rather than clock-speed-sensitive applications.
- Recommend all 8 memory channels be populated in reference configurations to deliver full bandwidth; confirm 185 W thermal headroom and current BIOS/firmware revisions with your platform vendor prior to volume deployment.
Wholesale & Procurement Notes
- MOQ negotiable depending on SKU availability and order structure.
- Tiered volume pricing available — request a formal quotation for your target quantity.
- Typical lead time: 3–7 business days for in-stock units; scheduled shipments supported for phased projects.
- Packing: anti-static OEM/Tray handling; shipping via consolidated pallet freight or air courier per order size and destination.
- RMA window: 30 days DOA replacement, with standard commercial warranty thereafter; RMA cases handled through a dedicated B2B support channel.
