Here we get the same L1 and L2 caches per core that we see across the line. Speaking of topology, here is the topology map for the Xeon Gold 6250: Intel Xeon Gold 6250 Topology As a result, they can be used in 4-socket servers in a fully connected topology. The reason this is significant is because these are 3x UPI link parts, while the “R” parts are 2x UPI link parts. Instead, they were grey and they also do not have an “R” tag. You will notice that we highlighted those two SKUs neither in white for original launch SKUs or black for the R-refresh parts. Gold 6200R 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor SKU Analysis And Value The Intel Xeon Gold 6256 and the Gold 6250 we are discussing today. At the time, the company introduced the “R” refresh parts, but there were two other SKUs as well. For comparison, the Xeon Platinum 8280 has under 7.5W TDP per core.Īs we discussed in our Big 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Refresh Brings Competition Anew piece, Intel made a massive shift in its lineup during Q1 2020. There is a lot of power being used for this as we get a 185W TDP for 8 cores or over 23W per core. That base clock speed of 3.9GHz is and top-end speed of 4.5GHz are effectively top-tier metrics in the first and second generation Xeon Scalable range. Here is the lscpu output for the Intel Xeon Gold 6250: Intel Xeon Gold 6250 Lscpu Output Here is the ARK page with the feature set. Key stats for the Intel Xeon Gold 6250: 8 cores / 16 threads with a 3.9GHz base clock and 4.5GHz turbo boost.

In our review, we are going to look at one of the latest models.

This allows clock speeds to increase and higher cache per core ratios which optimize for per-core licensing models by increasing work done per core. As a result, Intel has produced lines of chips for years that effectively took dies from high core count parts, kept caches active, and enabled only a few cores. Now, common hardware-based models include per core metrics. In years past, we had hardware-based license models that included per machine or per-socket licensing. This is the market that the Intel Xeon Gold 6250 is designed to address. In many environments, software license costs simply dominate hardware costs.
