Processor Intel Xeon Gold 6530 2.1 GHz 16 Cores 160 MB Cache FCLGA4677

Intel Xeon Gold 6530 is a server-class processor with a base frequency of 2.1 GHz, 16 physical cores and a large shared cache of 160 MB. Designed for enterprise and datacenter environments, this CPU supports octa-channel DDR5 memory with up to 4 TB addressable capacity and implements advanced instruction sets such as AMX, AVX, AVX2, AVX-512 and SSE4.2. The package measures 77.5 x 56.5 mm and the processor uses the FCLGA4677 socket. The unit is supplied without integrated graphics and includes a default Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA) device and support for Intel SGX with a maximum enclave size of 128 GB.

Advantages

The Xeon Gold 6530 combines a high core count and a substantial 160 MB cache to maintain throughput under heavy multi-threaded server workloads. Octa-channel DDR5 support and a 4 TB memory ceiling enable large in-memory datasets and virtualization consolidation. Support for modern vector and matrix instruction sets (AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, AMX) improves performance for scientific computing, analytics and AI inference tasks while built-in features such as Intel SGX and the Data Streaming Accelerator enhance security and I/O processing efficiency.
