With 12 cores (24 threads) at a 3.30GHz base clock, boosting to 4.20GHz, the Intel Xeon Gold 6246 carries 24.75MB of cache and is rated at 165W. Part of the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors line, it uses Socket 3647 and addresses up to 1TB of memory at 2933MHz DDR4.
Per-core software licensing makes core count a cost decision as well as a performance one. With simultaneous multithreading enabled, it presents 24 threads to the operating system. Boost clocks apply when thermal and power headroom allow; the base clock is the sustained figure. Clean off old thermal compound and apply fresh paste when fitting it. A 165W processor needs a heatsink rated for its power, and higher-TDP parts may need the server’s high-performance heatsink. A second socket populated means a second set of memory channels and expansion lanes becomes usable. Its S-spec, SRFPJ, pins down the exact stepping. Gold-tier parts balance core count and clock speed for virtualisation and database servers. Dual-socket servers need two of the same model; the server's processor support list and BIOS level decide whether this one is accepted.
Our Johannesburg team inspects and bench-tests the part before it is released as certified refurbished.
