About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon Gold 6230 is a server processor built for LGA3647 platforms and suited to enterprise environments that need dependable multi-core performance. With 20 cores and 40 threads, it is designed to handle parallel workloads efficiently, making it a practical choice for virtualization, database tasks, application hosting, and general server consolidation. Its 2.10GHz base clock and 3.90GHz turbo clock provide a balanced mix of steady processing power and responsive burst performance, while the 27.5MB Smart Cache helps support smoother data access during active workloads. This processor is compatible with Dell R640, R740, and R840 systems, making it a useful option for organizations maintaining or upgrading supported infrastructure.
Performance & Scalability
Built for scalable server use, the Xeon Gold 6230 offers the core count and thread capacity needed for workloads that benefit from strong parallel processing. The 125W TDP reflects a server-class design intended for balanced performance within compatible platforms, and support for DDR4-2933 memory helps align the processor with modern memory speeds used in enterprise systems. PCIe 3.0 support provides connectivity for expansion cards and storage devices commonly used in server deployments. For businesses looking to extend the life of existing Dell PowerEdge hardware, this CPU can help support demanding workloads without changing the overall platform architecture, making it a practical component for targeted upgrades and replacement needs.
Storage Flexibility
While this processor is not a storage device, its platform support plays an important role in overall system flexibility. The Xeon Gold 6230 works within server environments that often combine multiple storage technologies, expansion cards, and high-speed memory configurations. PCIe 3.0 support helps enable compatible storage controllers and add-in cards, while the processor’s multi-core design can assist with workloads that rely on fast access to data across attached storage resources. In systems such as the Dell R640, R740, and R840, this makes the CPU a solid foundation for servers that need to balance compute performance with storage and I/O demands.
Why Choose This Product?
The Intel Xeon Gold 6230 is a strong choice for buyers seeking a compatible server CPU with a proven feature set and broad enterprise utility. Its 20-core, 40-thread design supports demanding workloads, while the LGA3647 socket and Dell system compatibility make it easier to match with existing hardware. For IT teams, resellers, and system builders working with supported platforms, this processor offers a straightforward way to replace or upgrade a server CPU using a model designed for business-class environments. The combination of DDR4-2933 support, PCIe 3.0 compatibility, and a sizable Smart Cache makes it a versatile option for many common server use cases.
About this processor
Intel Xeon Gold 6230, a second generation Xeon Scalable processor with 20 cores at 2.10GHz and 3.90GHz turbo, for Dell R640, R740 and R840. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The Xeon Gold 6230 is the second generation's efficient twenty core: 20 cores and 40 threads at a 2.10GHz base and 3.90GHz turbo, 27.5MB of cache and a 125W rating in the LGA3647 socket, with six channels of DDR4-2933 and PCIe 3.0. It is the direct successor to the 6138 with the Cascade Lake improvements, and it is named as compatible with the Dell PowerEdge R640, R740 and R840.
Buyers in Qatar fit the refurbished 6230 where the 6138 would otherwise go, in 14th generation Dell and Gen10 HPE virtualisation hosts, gaining a higher turbo, faster memory and hardware security mitigations at the same power. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock and fits it to its own T440 servers.

Specification
The 125W rating means the standard heatsink of any 14th generation chassis is enough, which makes the 6230 the easiest second generation twenty core to fit.
| Cores | 20 |
| Threads | 40 |
| Base clock | 2.10GHz |
| Turbo clock | 3.90GHz |
| Smart Cache | 27.5MB |
| Socket | LGA3647 |
| TDP | 125W |
| Memory support | DDR4-2933, six channels |
| PCIe | PCIe 3.0, 48 lanes |
Forty threads per socket at 125W is the efficient choice for hypervisors and container platforms, and the 3.90GHz turbo helps the occasional single threaded task. Memory at 2933 MT/s needs DIMMs rated for it; the difference from 2666 MT/s is modest but real for memory bound workloads.
Compatible servers
| Server | Generation | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Dell PowerEdge R640 | 14th generation with 2019 BIOS | Standard heatsink at 125W |
| Dell PowerEdge R740 | 14th generation with 2019 BIOS | Standard heatsink at 125W |
| Dell PowerEdge R840 | 14th generation with 2019 BIOS | Four identical 6230 processors |
Installation
Update the server BIOS to a second generation capable release before fitting. Clip the processor into its carrier, attach the standard heatsink, lower onto the socket and tighten in the marked order. Never combine with a first generation processor in the same server. Six 2933 MT/s DIMMs per socket give the full memory bandwidth; slower DIMMs run at their own rating.
