Intel Xeon 696X 64-Core 4.80GHz FCLGA4710 Workstation Processor

The Intel Xeon 696X is a workstation processor built on Intel 3 process technology, combining 64 Performance-cores with 128 threads and a 336 MB L3 cache to handle parallel workloads such as rendering, simulation, and data analysis. Its 2.40 GHz base frequency rises to a 4.80 GHz maximum turbo frequency, and eight memory channels support DDR5 ECC memory at up to 6400 MT/s, or MRDIMM at up to 8000 MT/s, with a maximum memory capacity of 4 TB.

With 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, the processor connects multiple high-bandwidth graphics cards, NVMe storage, and networking adapters, while Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions, Intel Data Streaming Accelerator, and Intel vPro Enterprise support AI acceleration, efficient data movement, and hardware-based security and manageability. It fits the FCLGA4710 socket and Intel W890 workstation boards, and its 350 W base power and 420 W maximum turbo power require a high-capacity cooling solution.
