Intel Xeon 6740P Processor with 48 Cores 270W TDP and DDR5 Memory Support

The Intel® Xeon® 6740P represents a significant step in scalable performance, designed to meet the demands of dense data center consolidation, advanced virtualization, and memory-intensive enterprise applications. As a member of the Intel Xeon 6 family utilizing Efficiency-cores (E-cores), this processor prioritizes high core density and throughput, making it exceptionally well-suited for cloud-native architectures, microservices, and scale-out workloads where maximizing parallel processing efficiency is critical.

Featuring 48 cores and 96 threads, the Xeon 6740P provides substantial parallel processing capacity that enables organizations to consolidate multiple workloads onto fewer servers, reducing physical footprint and total cost of ownership. The processor delivers exceptional performance-per-watt with a 270W TDP, allowing data center operators to maximize compute density within existing power and cooling constraints.

Memory architecture is a standout feature, with support for 8 channels of DDR5 memory per socket operating at speeds up to 6400 MT/s, delivering the high memory bandwidth necessary to support 48 cores in data-intensive environments. Total memory capacity per socket reaches 4 TB, making this processor an excellent choice for in-memory databases and large-scale analytics platforms.

• 8-channel DDR5 memory support
• Up to 6400 MT/s memory speed
• 4 TB memory capacity per socket
• Multi-socket configurations (2, 4, and 8-socket platforms)

Connectivity is driven by 88 PCI Express 5.0 lanes, providing the high-speed I/O required for modern data center architectures, including AI accelerators, NVMe storage fabrics, and high-bandwidth networking.

The Intel® Xeon® 6740P is an ideal foundation for organizations building scalable, efficient data center infrastructure capable of handling the most demanding cloud, enterprise, and AI-driven workloads, including:
