The Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y is a 20-core, 40-thread processor from the 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Emerald Rapids microarchitecture), widely specified by system integrators for virtualization hosts, compute nodes, and storage controllers in dual-socket and multi-socket server builds. With native DDR5 memory support and PCIe 5.0 connectivity, it is a mainstream drop-in SKU for data center refresh projects migrating from prior Xeon generations, making it a repeat-order item for channel stock.
We supply this SKU to resellers, VARs and IT procurement teams under standard wholesale terms. Units are sourced from authorized channels with traceable batch codes, and we maintain consistent batch availability for multi-unit orders to avoid mixed-stepping shipments within a single project. All units carry a full replacement warranty with a structured RMA process — contact sales with the PO number and serial to initiate a claim.
Before committing to order volume, integrators should note that deployment requires an FCLGA4677 socket platform and a 200W-capable thermal solution. We recommend verifying motherboard BIOS/firmware support (e.g., C741-class boards) against your BOM prior to placement; our sales engineers can assist with compatibility checks for volume configurations.
Export-ready stock is held in our warehouse for immediate dispatch. All shipments are CE/FCC/RoHS compliant with standard export documentation provided, suitable for cross-border B2B delivery. For current stock levels, batch information, or tailored volume pricing, please request a wholesale quote and our team will respond with availability and lead times.

Reseller & Integration Notes
- Socket compatibility is tied to FCLGA4677; confirm server platform support for 5th Gen Xeon Scalable processors, as some earlier boards may require a BIOS/firmware update before deployment.
- Within the 5th Gen Xeon Scalable lineup, the 6526Y sits in the Gold tier — a strong channel mover balancing 20C/40T core density against a 200W TDP, positioned between higher-core Gold/Platinum parts and lower-power Silver SKUs.
- For full system builds, pair with 8-channel DDR5-4800 modules to maximize memory bandwidth, and size heatsinks and power supplies for the 200W TDP. Tray and boxed configurations may vary by batch — confirm packing preference with sales at time of order.
Wholesale & Procurement Notes
- MOQ negotiable depending on configuration and destination market.
- Tiered volume pricing available — request a quote with your target quantity for the best rate.
- Typical lead time: 3–7 business days for in-stock items; larger volume orders confirmed at time of quotation.
- Packing options include tray, boxed, or consolidated bulk cartons; shipping via express air, air freight, or sea freight with full export documentation.
- RMA window: replacement warranty with a standard claim window — contact sales with PO and serial details to process returns.
