Intel's Xeon Gold 6238 processor pairs 22 cores with 44 threads on the Socket P (FCLGA3647) platform, built on a lean 150W TDP envelope that makes it ideal for dense, multi-socket server deployments across data centre infrastructure. This Cascade Lake-generation processor targets infrastructure teams who need to balance per-core performance against power budget and thermal constraints in two- and four-socket configurations.

The 6238 has become a pragmatic workhorse for enterprise I/O-bound workloads that don't demand the highest clock speeds but require predictable, stable performance under load. Its base frequency sits at 2.1 GHz with a maximum turbo of 3.7 GHz, and the 24.75 MB L3 cache is sufficient for most OLTP, virtualisation, and containerised application stacks. Storage architects and infrastructure engineers favour this SKU when designing systems that must run continuously at moderate utilisation levels without aggressive power management—the thermal headroom is there, but the TDP stays conservative, which matters when you're fitting 4 or 6 processors into a single 2U or 3U chassis. Intel positioned this processor as the bridge between the entry-class Gold 5200 family and the more expensive, higher-frequency Gold 6200 SKUs, and the market has validated that positioning.

Memory support tops out at DDR4-2933, which aligns with the generation's design philosophy. You're not pushing extreme memory bandwidth here; you're building reliable, upgradeable servers that can serve the same workload for five to seven years without premature obsolescence. The part number CD8069504283104 identifies this exact variant, and procurement teams across the GCC region know it well because it represents the sweet spot for cost-per-core in refresh cycles that started around 2019–2020. The Intel Xeon Gold 6238 has aged well—it still clears the bar for virtualisation host clusters, SAP HANA appliances at medium scale, and containerised application platforms where you're running dozens of pods per core rather than a handful of heavy processes.

Network and systems engineers often reach for this processor when designing systems that must meet SLA uptime commitments without exotic cooling. The 150W TDP means you can populate all sockets in a four-socket motherboard without exceeding the power and heat budgets of standard data-centre rack infrastructure. Dual-socket builds with two Intel Xeon Gold 6238 processors deliver 44 cores and 88 threads in a form factor that fits comfortably into standard 2U server chassis, leaving room for multiple high-capacity NVMe or SAS drive arrays, network cards, and specialised I/O modules. This density-to-performance ratio is why the 6238 remains common in consolidation projects where organisations are moving away from older E5 or E7 fleets and need to size systems conservatively to avoid over-provisioning.

The Cascade Lake process at 14 nm delivers adequate instruction-per-clock improvements over earlier generations, and Intel's integrated I/O controllers, PCIe 3.0 support, and memory prefetching logic round out a mature, well-documented platform. Omnixon Global stocks the Intel Xeon Gold 6238 (CD8069504283104) as part of our core CPU portfolio, serving OEMs, system integrators, and end-user data centres across the UAE, GCC, and into Southeast Asia. Whether you're evaluating single units for testing or planning a larger refresh across multiple facilities, we maintain supply, offer technical pre-sales support, and can facilitate direct engagement with Intel's regional team if performance validation or bulk licensing is needed.

Performance Specifications

• 22 processor cores with 44 execution threads, enabling balanced parallel workload distribution across OLTP, analytics, and containerised application platforms
• 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo boost, optimised for sustained workloads rather than peak single-threaded performance
• 24.75 MB L3 cache supporting cache-coherent memory access patterns and reducing off-die traffic for memory-intensive routines
• 150W TDP rating permits multi-socket configurations in standard 2U and 3U chassis without upgrading power distribution or cooling infrastructure
• DDR4-2933 memory controller with support for 12 DIMMs per socket in standard RDIMM and LRDIMM form factors, scaling capacity to 6 TB per socket in two-socket systems
• 14 nm Cascade Lake manufacturing process delivering mature platform stability and long-term supply availability for replacement and warranty operations
• Socket P (FCLGA3647) compatibility with dual- and quad-socket motherboards from all major OEM suppliers, ensuring design flexibility and competitive second-sourcing
