The Intel Xeon Gold 6442Y Processor is a high-performance server processor in Intel's fourth-generation Xeon Scalable series, also known as "Sapphire Rapids". It features 24 cores and 48 threads, with a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of up to 4.0 GHz, making it suitable for demanding data centre workloads and AI applications.With 60 MB of Intel Smart Cache, the 6442Y supports up to 4 TB of DDR5-4800 memory across eight memory channels, providing ample memory bandwidth for complex computational tasks. It includes support for Intel's Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) with four UPI links, enhancing data transfer speeds between CPUs. This processor also supports advanced technologies such as Intel's Deep Learning Boost, Speed Select, and Resource Director Technology, which help optimise performance for AI and machine learning tasks.The 6442Y's TDP is 225 watts, so effective cooling solutions are necessary. It integrates security and performance features like Intel Total Memory Encryption, Intel Software Guard Extensions, and Intel Crypto Acceleration, which are critical for secure data handling in modern enterprise environments.
