General info
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
semiconductor size
14 nm
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
Supports 64-bit
✔Intel Xeon Gold 6252
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
CPU temperature
86 °C
If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
Has integrated graphics
✖Intel Xeon Gold 6252
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
DirectX version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenCL version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
number of transistors
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Performance
CPU speed
24 x 2.1 GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
CPU threads
48 threads
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
turbo clock speed
3.7GHz
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
L3 cache
35.75 MB
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L1 cache
1536 KB
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L2 cache
24 MB
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L2 core
1 MB/core
More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
The clock multiplier controls the speed of the CPU.
Has an unlocked multiplier
✖Intel Xeon Gold 6252
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.
Memory
Supports ECC memory
✔Intel Xeon Gold 6252
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
maximum memory bandwidth
131.13 GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
RAM speed (max)
2933 MHz
The maximum speed of RAM that is supported by the CPU.
maximum memory amount
1000GB
The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
bus speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
bus transfer rate
10.4 GT/s
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
eMMC version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.
Features
uses multithreading
✔Intel Xeon Gold 6252
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
instruction sets
SSE 4.2, SSE 4.1, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, MMX
Instruction sets are sets of codes that the CPU runs for certain functions.
bits executed at a time
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
NEON provides acceleration for media processing, such as listening to MP3s.
front-end width
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The CPU can decode more instructions per clock (IPC), meaning that the CPU performs better
Has NX bit
✔Intel Xeon Gold 6252
NX bit helps protect the computer from malicious attacks.
Has TrustZone
✖Intel Xeon Gold 6252
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
VFP version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Vector Floating-Point (VFP) is used by the processor to deliver increased performance in areas such as digital imaging.
