Intel Xeon Gold 6146 12 Core 3.20GHz 24.75MB 165W FCLGA3647 cpu accessory
A 12-core Xeon 6146 processor running at 3.20 GHz with 24.75 MB cache, boosting to 4.20 GHz in a 165 W FCLGA3647 package
- 12 cores handle heavy multi-threaded workloads
- 20 GHz base clock delivers consistent performance
- Turbo boost up to 4.20 GHz accelerates peak demand
- 75 MB L3 cache reduces data latency
- 165 W TDP fits high-density server designs
Intel Xeon Gold 6146 Processor
The Intel Xeon Gold 6146 is a 12 Core processor built for Socket 3647 platforms. It operates at a base frequency of 3.20GHz and can boost up to 4.20GHz depending on workload. The chip includes 24.75MB of L3 cache and carries a 165W thermal design power.
Included Accessories Impact
This listing is for the processor unit only; no cooler, mounting hardware or software licences are bundled. System builders must source a compatible FCLGA3647 heatsink and thermal interface material separately to manage the 165W heat output.
Suitable Builds and Constraints
The part suits servers and workstations requiring a 12 Core Cascade Lake CPU for Socket 3647 infrastructure. It is not for buyers who need a different core count, a lower power envelope or a processor for an unsupported socket type.

Questions about this item
Will the 165W thermal design power require a specific cooler upgrade later?
The 165W rating means a cooler rated for at least that TDP is needed; plan for a server-grade heatsink or liquid loop that mounts on the FCLGA3647 socket.
Does the 24.75MB L3 cache become a bottleneck during sustained all-core workloads?
The 24.75MB L3 cache is fixed; if your working set exceeds it, latency rises as data spills to main memory.
How loud and hot does the 12-core chip run at 3.20GHz base clock all day?
At 3.20GHz base the 165W TDP generates significant heat; expect active cooling to spin up noticeably under continuous load.
