Description
Product description: Intel® Xeon® Gold 6230
Intel® Xeon® Gold 6230 is one of the most popular and balanced 2nd-generation Cascade Lake server processors, designed for enterprise systems, virtualization, data centers, and high-load computing tasks.
The processor combines 20 cores and 40 threads, providing excellent performance in multi-threaded scenarios: virtual machines, containers, server applications, and data analytics. A base frequency 2.1 GHz and Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz allows you to confidently handle frequency-sensitive tasks.
With support for DDR4-2933up to 1 TB of RAM, 48 PCIe 3.0 lanesand scalability up to 4 processors (4S) the Xeon Gold 6230 is suitable for both high-power servers and cluster architectures.
The processor is compatible with non-volatile memory Intel Optane™, making it a relevant solution for systems working with large amounts of data and in-memory technologies.
Despite the fact that this model is officially discontinued, the Xeon Gold 6230 remains one of the most popular CPUs due to its excellent balance of price, performance, and energy efficiency.
