Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Y suffix mean on Xeon Gold 6240Y?

The Y suffix indicates a high-frequency optimized variant with elevated base and turbo frequencies compared to the standard Xeon Gold 6240.

Is the Xeon Gold 6240Y compatible with 1st Gen Xeon Scalable servers?

The Xeon Gold 6240Y (Cascade Lake) may be compatible with some 1st Gen Xeon Scalable (Skylake-SP) LGA3647 servers with BIOS updates. Verify with your server vendor before installation.

What is the difference between FCLGA3647 and LGA4677?

FCLGA3647 is used by 1st and 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable processors while LGA4677 is used by 3rd through 5th Gen Xeon Scalable. The two sockets are not compatible.
