Intel Xeon 6766E

The Intel Xeon 6766E is a 144-core (144-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2024 with a suggested retail price of $10,257. It is part of Intel's Xeon lineup, which is based on the Sierra Forest microarchitecture. The 6766E is compatible with Intel Socket 4710 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon 6766E supports DDR5 memory and features a octa-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 8 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon 6766E has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 108 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Xeon 6766E features 144 total cores which can process 144 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1900.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 2.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Xeon 6766E does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
