Xeon Gold 6252 Details

Ranked #639 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Xeon Gold 6252 delivers a balanced server-grade experience with strong multicore throughput and a high core count. As of March 2026, this processor, based on the Cascade Lake SP microarchitecture, remains a viable option in the server segment, though it is now over four years old. Its 24 cores and 48 threads, coupled with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, position it as a high-performance workhorse for multi-threaded workloads, particularly in virtualization, data processing, and enterprise applications.

The Xeon Gold 6252 operates at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and features a 14 nm process node, offering a 150 W TDP and requiring a socket LGA-3647 platform. It supports up to 1,048,576 MiB of DDR4-2933 memory across six channels, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 131.13 GiB/s. The cache hierarchy includes 1.5 MiB of L1 cache (0.75 MiB each for instruction and data), 24 MiB of L2 cache, and a large 35.75 MiB L3 cache, enhancing data access speeds for demanding server tasks.

In benchmark testing, the processor achieves a single-core score of 4607, placing it at #1212 in single-threaded performance, which reflects its focus on parallel throughput rather than high clock speeds. Its multicore score of 6271 ranks it #196 in the multicore category, significantly outperforming many consumer-grade CPUs while trailing behind the latest high-end desktop and server processors. Notably, it surpasses the Core i9-7920X and Ryzen 9 PRO 3900, though it falls short of the Xeon Gold 6254 and Ryzen 9 8945HS.

The Xeon Gold 6252 supports a wide array of features, including AVX-512, Intel Deep Learning Boost, and Intel vPro technology, making it suitable for AI inference, virtualization, and enterprise management. It also includes ECC memory support, extended page tables, and hardware virtualization technologies like VT-x and VT-d, reinforcing its reliability in server environments.

Despite its age, the Xeon Gold 6252 remains a capable server processor for workloads that benefit from its high core count and memory bandwidth. While it is no longer competitive with the top-tier CPUs in the top 50 overall list, its performance in multicore tasks and enterprise features make it a practical choice for legacy server deployments and cost-effective data center solutions.
