Intel Xeon Gold 6438Y+

Intel is the manufacturer. The "Xeon Gold" series is positioned as the versatile mid-to-high tier of Intel’s enterprise lineup, balanced for both performance and energy efficiency.

A score of ~62,600 on PassMark indicates exceptional multi-core throughput. It is highly efficient at handling concurrent enterprise applications and heavy mathematical computations

With 32 cores and 64 threads, this CPU is optimized for high-density virtualization, allowing IT managers to consolidate many older servers into a single physical machine.

As is standard for high-end server CPUs, there is no integrated GPU. Video is typically handled by the server's baseboard management controller (BMC).

"Server Class" indicates a processor designed for high-availability environments. The Sapphire Rapids architecture (4th Gen) includes built-in accelerators like Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA) and In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA).

At 205W, it requires robust cooling solutions. It is designed for rack-mounted servers where high-velocity airflow or liquid cooling is used to maintain thermal stability.

A 2.0 GHz base clock provides a steady foundation for multi-threaded tasks

The 4.0 GHz turbo allows for quick processing of bursty workloads like database queries.

It uses the LGA 4677 (Socket E). This is a large, high-density socket that supports the latest communication standards like PCIe 5.0 and CXL 1.1.

No

The 60 MB L3 Cache (Smart Cache) allows for high-speed data access across all cores, which is critical for reducing latency in real-time analytics and financial applications.

It supports 8-channel DDR5, a major upgrade over previous generations. This provides massive memory bandwidth and supports up to 4 TB of RAM per socket, which is essential for massive in-memory databases.
