HPE Intel Xeon-Gold 6248R arrives as a powerful server processor built on Intel's 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake) platform, offering enterprise-grade performance with a 3.0 GHz base frequency and up to 4.0 GHz boost.

This Intel Xeon Gold 6248R is designed for demanding server and workstation tasks, featuring 24 physical cores and 48 threads to accelerate multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing.

The processor uses the LGA 3647 (Socket P) package and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It includes 35.75 MB of L3 cache and supports 64-bit operating modes for modern server environments.

Memory support is robust: the CPU handles up to 1 TB of DDR4-SDRAM across hexa-channel memory architecture at up to 2933 MHz, enabling large in-memory datasets and high throughput for memory-intensive applications.

Connectivity and expansion are well covered with 48 PCI Express lanes (version 3.0) and a system bus rate of 10.4 GT/s. The part is targeted at 2-socket (2S) scalable server configurations and is offered in a tray package; note that a cooler is not included.

With a TDP of 205 W and a compact physical footprint (88.9 mm × 108 mm × 25.4 mm, weight 540 g), the Intel Xeon Gold 6248R balances thermal and mechanical considerations for rack and tower servers in datacenter environments.

Typical use cases include virtualization farms, large in-memory databases, analytics clusters, and HPC nodes where multi-core throughput and memory bandwidth are critical. Its lack of integrated graphics reflects its server-focused market segment.

Key selling points: 24 cores / 48 threads, up to 4.0 GHz boost, 35.75 MB L3 cache, hexa-channel DDR4 at 2933 MHz, 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes, 2S scalability and support for up to 1 TB memory—making the HPE Intel Xeon-Gold 6248R a strong choice for enterprise server deployments.
