Intel® Xeon® Gold 6254 Processor

Key Specifications & Features

• Cores / Threads: 18 cores, 36 threads. 
• Base Clock: 3.10 GHz.
• Max Turbo Frequency: Up to 4.00 GHz (single-core turbo) with Intel Turbo Boost. 
• Cache: 24.75 MB L3 Smart Cache.
• Architecture / Process: 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable — “Cascade Lake-SP”, 14 nm process.
• Socket: FCLGA3647 — requires a compatible server-class motherboard. 
• Memory Support: Up to 1 TB DDR4-2933 across 6 memory channels, ECC-enabled. 
• PCIe / I/O: PCIe 3.0, up to 48 PCIe lanes — sufficient for multiple NVMe drives, high-speed NICs, GPUs, or accelerators. 
• TDP (Thermal Design Power): 200 W — relatively high, so you need proper cooling and robust power supply. 
• Advanced Features: Supports Hyper-Threading, AVX / AVX2 / AVX-512, Intel Virtualization (VT-x, VT-d), ECC memory, and other enterprise-class features including support for large memory and high I/O workloads.
• Memory & Storage Tech: Supports up to 1 TB RAM and also compatible with DDR4-2933 memory; supports Intel Optane persistent memory — useful for heavy-memory workloads or caching layers. 
• Status: The CPU is listed as “Discontinued / ESU Notification Issued” (end-of-servicing updates after June 2025) by Intel
