Description
Product Description: Intel® Xeon® Gold 6138
Intel® Xeon® Gold 6138 is a high-performance server processor from the Skylake family, which has long been the gold standard for enterprise systems, virtualization, data analytics, and cloud infrastructure.
The processor features 20 cores and 40 threads, operates at a base frequency 2.0 GHz and supports Turbo Boost up to 3.7 GHz, providing an excellent combination of multi-threaded performance and high speed in frequency-critical tasks.
Xeon Gold 6138 supports up to 768 GB of DDR4-2666 memoryand operates in multi-processor configurations up to 4 CPUs (S4S) and provides 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes — optimal for modern servers, virtualization systems, and highly loaded enterprise applications.
Despite being a first-generation Xeon Scalable processor, it remains popular due to its stability, AVX-512 support, extensive scalability, and high energy efficiency with a TDP of only 125 W.
The Xeon Gold 6138 is actively used in corporate environments, data centers, research centers, and virtualization platforms.
