Lenovo ThinkSystem Xeon Gold 6226R - 16-Core - 2.9 GHz - 22MB Cache - Server Processor

Lenovo ThinkSystem Xeon Gold 6226R brings server-grade performance with Intel's 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable architecture and delivers balanced compute for demanding datacenter workloads.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6226R is a 16-core, 32-thread processor with a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz, offering a strong mix of single-thread responsiveness and multi-thread throughput for virtualized and parallel server tasks.

Built on the Cascade Lake microarchitecture with 14 nm lithography, the CPU features 22 MB of cache and a 150 W TDP, making it suitable for rack servers and workstations where sustained performance is required.

This processor supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 memory across hexa-channel memory controllers at speeds up to 2933 MHz and includes ECC support to ensure data integrity in critical environments.

With 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes, UPI interconnects (2 links), and a scalability of 2S, the chip enables flexible I/O configurations and multi-socket deployments. It also supports virtualization and security features such as VT-x, VT-d, AES-NI, Trusted Execution Technology, and Execute Disable Bit.

Intel enhancements include Hyper-Threading, Turbo Boost 2.0, AVX/AVX2/AVX-512 instruction sets, and Deep Learning Boost to accelerate AI inference workloads. The processor is packaged as a tray unit in an LGA 3647 socket and is compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590 and SR650 platforms.

Typical use cases include virtualized server consolidation, database and analytics processing, high-performance computing nodes, and AI inference at the edge of the datacenter. Its support for Intel Optane DC persistent memory and VMD adds flexibility for memory-centric and storage-optimized designs.
