Intel Xeon E-2486 - 3.5 GHz - 6-Core - 12 Threads - 18 MB Cache - Fclga1700 Socket - OEM - Processor

Intel Xeon E-2486 is a server-grade processor launched in Q4'23 that brings Raptor Lake performance to enterprise workloads with a blend of frequency and efficiency.

This Intel Xeon E-2486 (E-2486) runs on the FCLGA1700 socket and offers a 3.5 GHz base frequency with up to 5.6 GHz boost, delivering responsive single-thread performance alongside reliable multi-core throughput for business-critical servers.

With 6 physical cores and 12 threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, the processor is designed for 64-bit server operating modes and supports up to 128 GB of DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, including ECC support for data integrity in enterprise environments.

The E-2486 includes 18 MB of cache, a 95 W TDP, and Gen 5 PCI Express compatibility with up to 20 PCIe lanes (configurations such as 2x8+1x4 or 1x16+1x4), making it suitable for storage, networking, and accelerator add-in cards commonly used in server builds.

Security and manageability features are emphasized: Intel Trusted Execution Technology, Intel AES-NI, Intel Boot Guard, Intel Total Memory Encryption (including Multi Key), VT-x/VT-d and VT-rp virtualization protections, and thermal monitoring technologies help harden server platforms and simplify deployment.

Targeted at single-socket (1S) server systems, the E-2486 supports enterprise use cases such as virtualized hosts, small-to-medium databases, edge servers, and application delivery. Its balance of cores, high boost frequency, and ECC memory support makes it a versatile choice for workloads that need low latency and reliability.

Additional technical highlights include a 16 GT/s system bus rate, Raptor Lake codename, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (5.6 GHz), and absence of integrated graphics, emphasizing its role as a dedicated server CPU in tray/package form.

For procurement and deployment, note the OEM tray packaging, ARK ID 236185, ECCN 5A992C, HS code 8542310001, and baseline servicing status. This processor is ideal when you need robust single-socket performance, modern PCIe Gen5 connectivity, and enterprise-grade security and memory features.
