Intel Xeon Gold 6138T
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon Gold 6138T was designed for demanding server environments. Based on the Skylake architecture, it offered remarkable performance. Even today, this chip is still convincing in special scenarios. Its production in the 14 nm process was advanced at the time. A major advantage is the high core count.

With twenty cores and forty threads, the Intel Xeon Gold 6138T offers considerable parallel processing power. This is particularly useful for extensive virtualization or complex database applications. We have found how powerful it still is for that. Additionally, the processor's 28 MB L3 cache helps.

It ensures fast data access and accelerates data-intensive operations. The maximum memory bandwidth of 128 GB/s is also important. It enables rapid data exchange between CPU and memory. These properties support applications with high memory requirements. The PCIe 3.0 interface also offers good connectivity.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6138T remains a solid option for dedicated tasks.
  • 20 cores and 40 threads
  • 28 MB L3 cache
  • 128 GB/s memory bandwidth
  • PCIe 3.0 support
