The Intel Xeon Gold 6544Y is a high-core-count server processor supplied through our wholesale channel for IT resellers, system integrators, and data center procurement teams building or refreshing 2-socket platforms for virtualization, general compute, and storage workloads. With 28 cores and a strong turbo profile, it balances throughput-oriented workloads with responsiveness for latency-sensitive services. Memory performance and compatibility depend heavily on the host platform’s chipset and DIMM configuration, so integrators should verify board support during system design and quoting.
Stock & Supply
This item is held in volume stock and can be allocated in consistent batches for multi-order projects. Batches are matched by stepping and manufacturing code where possible, which matters to integrators deploying mixed clusters that require uniform firmware baselines across machines. For large deployments, we can confirm lot consistency prior to shipment.
Warranty & RMA
Units ship with a standard wholesale warranty and are supported by a structured RMA process. Defective units reported within the RMA window are tested at our facility and replaced or credited according to the agreed terms. Serial numbers are logged at dispatch so end-customer returns from your reseller accounts can be traced without dispute. Advanced replacement terms are available to qualifying partners.
Compliance & Lead Times
All units conform to CE, FCC, and RoHS requirements and are supplied with compliant packaging suitable for export. Standard orders are typically dispatched within 1–3 business days; larger volume orders are scheduled with an agreed lead time confirmed at quotation. Because memory bandwidth differs significantly between DDR4 and DDR5 configurations, decide your memory platform before finalizing procurement — it materially affects total system cost and performance for bandwidth-hungry workloads such as virtualization hosts and storage controllers.
Good to know
- Compatibility: The LGA 4189 socket is shared across multiple Xeon Scalable generations, but BIOS/firmware support varies by motherboard vendor — always confirm your platform’s qualified processor list before deploying.
- Family positioning: Within the Xeon Gold tier, the 6544Y sits in the upper range of core count, offering more throughput than lower-bin Gold parts while remaining suited to cost-sensitive 2-socket builds rather than high-end 8-socket systems.
- Partner support: Resellers and system integrators receive dedicated account handling, consolidated invoicing, and flexible shipping arrangements including air freight and sea freight for export orders.
Wholesale & Procurement Notes
- MOQ negotiable depending on configuration and destination market.
- Tiered volume pricing available — request a wholesale quote for project-specific rates.
- Typical lead time: 1–3 business days for stocked quantities; volume orders scheduled on confirmation.
- Packing & shipping options: bulk tray packing, anti-static retail boxing, or consolidated pallet shipment via air or sea freight.
- RMA window: standard 30-day DOA reporting and manufacturer warranty handling for registered partners.
