12-Core Xeon Gold Server
The Intel Xeon Gold 6146 is a dodeca-core processor running at 3.20 GHz with a 4.20 GHz turbo frequency. It uses the Socket 3647 platform and is built on a 14 nm process. The tray unit includes 24.75 MB of cache and supports 64-bit processing for demanding server workloads.
Rack Build Integration
This 165 W processor requires a Socket 3647 motherboard and adequate cooling for a 76 °C maximum operating temperature. Physical dimensions are 6.5 x 7 x 6.5 units. The four-socket scalability of the Gold 6000 family allows expansion within compatible rack chassis, freeing density for compute-heavy deployments.
Data Centre Compute Fit
Suited for mainstream data centre, multi-cloud, and network or storage workloads needing high memory speeds and capacity. Not for buyers needing single-socket only platforms or lower power envelopes. Builders requiring different core counts or thermal profiles should evaluate other Xeon options.

Questions about this item
What thermal limit stops the Xeon Gold 6146 from running faster under sustained load?
The processor is rated to a maximum operating temperature of 76 °C, so sustained workloads will throttle once that limit is reached.
How much heat must the cooling system remove when the 12-core chip runs all day?
The part has a 165 W thermal design power, so the cooler and chassis airflow must handle that continuous heat output.
Which socket and platform must already be in the rack for this tray processor to work?
It requires a motherboard with an LGA 3647 socket and a compatible Intel Xeon Gold 6000-series chipset.
