About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon Gold 6248 is a server processor built for LGA3647-based systems and is suited to workloads that benefit from strong multi-core performance. With 20 cores and 40 threads, it is designed for environments that need dependable processing capacity for virtualization, business applications, and general server use. Its 2.50GHz base clock and 3.90GHz turbo clock provide a balanced mix of steady throughput and responsive performance when workloads demand additional speed. The 27.5MB Smart Cache helps support efficient data access, while the 150W TDP reflects the power profile of a high-core-count server CPU. This processor is also noted as compatible with Dell R640, R740, and R840 systems, making it a practical option for supported enterprise hardware refreshes or replacements.
Performance & Scalability
Built for scalable server deployments, the Xeon Gold 6248 offers the core and thread count needed to handle parallel tasks more effectively than lower-core processors. That makes it a strong fit for workloads such as virtualization hosts, database environments, application servers, and mixed-use infrastructure where multiple processes run at the same time. Support for DDR4-2933 memory helps align the processor with modern server memory platforms, while PCIe 3.0 support provides compatibility for a wide range of expansion devices and storage controllers. In supported systems, this CPU can help maintain consistent performance across demanding workloads without requiring a platform change, which is especially useful for organizations standardizing on compatible Dell server models.
Storage Flexibility
Although this is a processor rather than a storage device, its platform support plays an important role in overall system flexibility. PCIe 3.0 support allows compatible servers to work with a variety of expansion cards and storage-related hardware, helping build configurations that match specific performance and capacity needs. When paired with supported Dell PowerEdge systems, the Xeon Gold 6248 can be part of a server build that accommodates different storage strategies, from high-capacity setups to performance-focused configurations. The processor’s memory support also contributes to a balanced system architecture, which is important when storage workloads depend on efficient data handling across CPU, memory, and I/O resources.
Why Choose This Product?
The Intel Xeon Gold 6248 is a sensible choice for buyers looking for a tested refurbished server CPU that fits compatible enterprise platforms. It combines a high core count, strong thread support, and broad server compatibility in a single processor designed for real-world business workloads. For IT teams maintaining Dell R640, R740, or R840 systems, it can serve as a replacement part or an upgrade path within an existing infrastructure. Because it supports DDR4-2933 memory and PCIe 3.0, it integrates well into established server environments without introducing unnecessary complexity. If you need a dependable Intel Xeon processor for supported LGA3647 systems, this model offers a practical balance of performance, compatibility, and deployment flexibility.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
