About this product
The Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y is a 5th Gen Xeon Scalable processor tuned for speed per core rather than sheer core count. It has 16 cores and 32 threads, a 2.8 GHz base clock, turbo up to 3.9 GHz and 37.5 MB of cache, rated at 195W.
That balance matters wherever software is licensed per core or where response time matters more than batch throughput: SQL and ERP databases, engineering applications, trading and analytics systems. You get more work out of every licensed core than a slower part with more cores would give.
Memory support is a strong point. The chip runs eight channels of registered ECC DDR5 at up to DDR5-5200, with up to 4 TB per socket, so large in-memory datasets stay quick to reach. Eighty PCIe 5.0 lanes per processor handle NVMe storage, accelerators and fast networking at full width, and the Y suffix adds Intel Speed Select profiles for tuning clocks against active cores.
It fits LGA 4677 boards with the Intel C741 chipset in single or dual-socket configurations. Boards first released for 4th Gen Xeon may need a BIOS update before they recognise it, so check the board's support list. Servers built for earlier Xeon Scalable generations are not compatible.
As with all server processors, there is no cooler or integrated graphics. Use a chassis heatsink rated for 195W and plan airflow for sustained load.
Choose it when each core has to be fast and accountable.
