Processor Intel Xeon 6 6756E (128C/256T) 2,6GHz (1,8GHz Turbo) socket LGA4710 TDP 225 tray

Data center architects scaling dense cloud workloads need a processor that packs massive core counts into a power-efficient envelope. The Intel Xeon 6 6756E delivers 128 efficient cores and 256 threads on the Sierra Forest architecture, built for containerized microservices, web serving, and scale-out analytics. With a 2.6 GHz base clock, 384 MB L3 cache, and 8-channel DDR5 memory support, it handles high-throughput, highly parallel tasks while keeping TDP at a manageable 225 W. The LGA4710 socket and PCIe 5.0 connectivity make it ready for next-gen server platforms.

Key specifications

• 128 cores / 256 threads, Intel 3 process technology
• Base frequency 2.6 GHz, 384 MB L3 cache
• Socket LGA4710, TDP 225 W
• 8 memory channels, DDR5 up to 6400 MT/s
• 88 PCIe 5.0 lanes, no integrated graphics
• Intel VT-x, VT-d, AES-NI, Hyper-Threading

Why choose it

This processor maximizes compute density per rack while staying within a reasonable power budget. The efficient-core design reduces energy costs for always-on workloads, and the large L3 cache accelerates data access. Support for high-speed DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 ensures headroom for storage and networking expansion.

Ideal use cases

• Cloud-native microservices and Kubernetes clusters
• High-traffic web servers and CDN nodes
• Scale-out analytics and in-memory databases
• Virtualization hosts with high VM density

Good to know

Tray packaging is intended for system integrators and OEMs; a compatible LGA4710 server board and adequate cooling are required. The processor does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU or remote management is needed for display output.
