Built on the Cascade Lake architecture and housed in the FCLGA3647 socket, the Intel Xeon Gold 6256 processor (part number CD8069504425301) is a 12-core, 24-thread CPU designed for the demanding workloads of mid-to-large data centres across the GCC region. This Intel processor supports up to four channels of DDR4 memory at 2933 MHz speeds, enabling configurations that scale to 768 GB of system RAM depending on your platform configuration. The combination of core density, memory bandwidth, and thermal efficiency makes this a practical choice for infrastructure teams running mixed workloads—from transactional databases to moderate-scale virtualization environments.

The Gold 6256 operates at a base frequency of 3.8 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost pushing single-threaded performance to 4.4 GHz when thermal headroom permits. With 35 MB of L3 cache and a 165W TDP, the processor strikes a deliberate balance between compute capability and power consumption. That relatively conservative power envelope means your facility engineers won't need to overhaul cooling infrastructure for a refresh cycle, and it leaves room in your rack PDU budgets for storage controllers, networking cards, or additional servers in the same footprint. Intel engineered this part on their mature 14 nm++ process node, which translates to proven reliability and well-documented errata across hundreds of thousands of production deployments worldwide.

Data centre operators and storage architects gravitate toward the Gold 6256 when they need to replace or expand three-to-four-year-old server fleets without jumping to newer-generation platforms. A systems administrator managing a hybrid estate of workloads—databases, file services, backup targets—finds the 12-core design sufficient for general-purpose consolidation. The processor's instruction set includes Intel AVX-512, useful for certain analytic and HPC-adjacent workloads, though the real value proposition lies in its predictable, mature performance characteristics and the abundance of spares inventory and vendor support across established channels.

From a procurement perspective, the part number CD8069504425301 remains widely available through established Intel ecosystem partners and specialist distributors across the UAE and broader GCC market. Any engineering team evaluating second-generation Xeon Scalable platforms will encounter the Gold 6256 frequently in existing hardware quotas and lifecycle planning documents. The socket and chipset ecosystem around FCLGA3647 is stable and well-understood; motherboard vendors, memory manufacturers, and system integrators have completed their development cycles, which means fewer surprises during integration and validation phases.

Omnixon Global stocks the Intel Xeon Gold 6256 and related Cascade Lake-generation processors as core inventory, supporting data centre upgrades, AI infrastructure expansions, and enterprise refresh cycles throughout the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and across Asia-Pacific distribution partners. If your organisation is evaluating this processor for an upcoming deployment or conducting a cost-benefit analysis against alternative platforms, our technical team can assist with compatibility verification, configuration consultation, and supply chain coordination.
