Intel Xeon 6710e Processor

 

The Intel Xeon 6710E is a server/workstation processor with 64 cores, launched in June 2024, at an MSRP of $2749. It is part of the Xeon 6 lineup, using the Sierra Forest-SP architecture with Socket 4710. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Xeon 6710E CPUs can link up in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon 6710E has 96 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.4 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.2 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Xeon 6710E on a 5 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Xeon 6710E, which limits its overclocking capabilities.

With a TDP of 205 W, the Xeon 6710E is extremely power hungry, which means you need top-notch cooling. Intel’s processor supports DDR5 memory with an eight-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 5600 MT/s. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the computer, Xeon 6710E uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card.
