Xeon Gold 6248 Details

The Intel Xeon Gold 6248 stands as a high-performance server processor built on the Cascade Lake SP microarchitecture, fabricated using a 14 nm process node. Designed for demanding data center and enterprise workloads, this chip features 20 cores and 40 threads, enabled by Intel's Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) technology. With a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a turbo frequency reaching 3.9 GHz, the Xeon Gold 6248 leverages advanced technologies such as AVX-512, Intel Deep Learning Boost, and Enhanced SpeedStep to deliver scalable performance under heavy computational loads. The processor supports up to 1,048,576 MiB of DDR4-2933 memory across six channels, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 131.13 GiB/s, making it well-suited for memory-intensive applications. It operates at a 150 W TDP and is packaged in the FCLGA-3647 socket, compatible with the Purley platform and equipped with 27.5 MiB of L3 cache and 20 MiB of L2 cache, complemented by 1.25 MiB of L1 cache.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon Gold 6248 achieves an Overall Score of 5745, ranking #341 out of 2060 processors. Its Singlecore Score is 5361, placing it #679, while its Multicore Score reaches 6321, ranking #178. These results indicate that the processor performs exceptionally well in multithreaded environments, where its 20 cores and 40 threads provide strong scaling capabilities. In comparison to its peers, the Xeon Gold 6248 outperforms several high-end server CPUs like the Xeon Gold 6142 and Xeon Platinum 8160, but trails behind more modern and powerful processors such as the EPYC 7302P and Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX. The multicore performance is particularly notable, as it ranks just behind the top-tier server and workstation chips, reflecting its role in high-density computing environments.

The Xeon Gold 6248 is also equipped with a robust set of features, including support for ECC memory, Intel VT-x and VT-d virtualization, and Intel vPro technology for enhanced security and manageability. It supports up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes and includes advanced instruction sets like AVX-512, which are critical for AI, machine learning, and scientific simulations. Despite being released several years ago, the processor remains relevant in server and workstation environments due to its strong multi-threaded performance and extensive feature set. As of March 2026, it holds its own in mid-tier server applications, particularly where high core counts and memory bandwidth are prioritized over single-core performance.

For users seeking a reliable, scalable processor for enterprise-grade workloads, the Xeon Gold 6248 offers a compelling combination of core density, memory support, and power efficiency. While it may not compete with the latest consumer or enthusiast CPUs in single-threaded tasks, its strength lies in parallel processing, making it ideal for virtualization, database servers, and cloud computing environments. Its continued presence in the top 50 multicore rankings underscores its enduring relevance in the server market.
