Intel Xeon Gold 6336Y Processor

Intel Xeon Gold 6336Y — 24 cores and 48 threads at 2.4 GHz base / 3.6 GHz turbo, 36 MB cache, 185 W TDP, FCLGA4189. Supplied from stock with a 1-year warranty.

The profile-tunable 24-core Gold of the Ice Lake stack

The 6336Y belongs to the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake-SP) family, launched in Q2 2021 on a 10 nm process. It pairs 24 cores / 48 threads with a 2.4 GHz base and a 3.6 GHz turbo ceiling on a 185 W envelope, plus PCIe 4.0 with 64 lanes. The chip is rated 2S (two sockets) with three UPI links at 11.2 GT/s, and it runs DDR4-3200 across eight channels with a 6 TB per-socket ceiling - Intel Optane persistent memory 200 series is supported alongside DDR4. It is the one Gold bin of this batch with the full Speed Select set - Core Power, Turbo Frequency, Performance Profile and Base Frequency - and an official three-profile SST-PP table: 6336Y(0) at 24 active cores and 2.4 GHz on 185 W, 6336Y(1) at 12 cores and 2.9 GHz on 150 W, and 6336Y(2) at 8 cores and 3.1 GHz on 140 W. A high-priority / low-priority partition of 8 cores at 2.5 GHz and 16 cores at 2.2 GHz sits underneath the profiles. Embedded Options are Available, making the part usable in long-life appliances.

Security and acceleration are Ice Lake staples: AVX-512 with two FMA units, DL Boost, TSX-NI and VMD, Intel Crypto Acceleration, Resource Director Technology and Speed Shift, plus Total Memory Encryption, Run Sure reliability and Platform Firmware Resilience. SGX is supported with Intel SPS and a 64 GB enclave page cache. Thermal rating is TCASE 80 °C in a 77.5 mm × 56.5 mm package.

Technical specifications

Servers that commonly take this processor

The 6336Y fits any FCLGA4189 (Whitley) platform whose BIOS supports 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable parts, in single- or dual-CPU two-socket systems. Typical systems that run it include:

• Dell PowerEdge R750 / R650
• HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus / DL360 Gen10 Plus
• Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 / SR630 V2
• Two-socket appliance, edge and storage chassis built around the Whitley platform

Because the part is rated 2S with three UPI links, it can pair with a second 6336Y in dual-socket nodes - check that the platform BIOS and the second CPU stepping are compatible before ordering, and make sure the chassis cooling is rated for two 185 W processors. The SST-PP tiers let one SKU serve mixed fleets: the 12-core and 8-core profiles run at 2.9 and 3.1 GHz for latency-sensitive roles without changing silicon.

How it compares across generations

Against its standard-bin sibling, the Gold 6338, the 6336Y trades 8 cores and 12 MB of cache for a 400 MHz higher base (2.4 vs 2.0 GHz), a 400 MHz higher turbo (3.6 vs 3.2 GHz) and 20 W less (185 vs 205 W). Against the Gold 6342 it keeps the same 24-core / 48-thread / 36 MB layout but gives up 400 MHz at base for a 100 MHz higher turbo and 45 W less. Against the thermally flexible 6338T it runs 300 MHz higher at base and 200 MHz higher at turbo for 20 W more. The Y suffix marks the profile-tunable bin: it is the one Gold of this batch whose firmware can switch between the 24-core, 12-core and 8-core SST-PP profiles, so one stock line covers both throughput and latency-sensitive roles.

How each processor is tested before it ships

1. Visual inspection of the heat spreader, capacitors and substrate on arrival.
2. Thermal paste residue cleaned from the IHS; socket contact pads checked under magnification.
3. sSpec marking (SRKXB) verified against the order line before testing.
4. Full-core load test on an LGA4189 diagnostic board, confirming rated clocks and cache.
5. Re-run of the memory controller stress pass, then anti-static packing for dispatch.

Warranty and lead time

Every 6336Y carries a 1-year warranty covering defects in workmanship and function; a verified faulty unit is replaced or refunded with return shipping covered. New units come in Intel tray packaging (order code CD8068904658702); tested pull units are labelled as such and priced separately. In-stock units typically ship within 2-3 business days after payment confirmation.
