Intel Xeon Scalable Xeon Gold 6330
The Intel Xeon Gold 6330 was one of the most widely adopted 28-core, 56-thread enterprise server processors of the 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) family. Built on 10nm SuperFin architecture for Socket LGA 4189 (Socket P+), it introduced 8 memory channels of DDR4-2933/3200, 64 lanes of PCIe 4.0, and a 42MB shared L3 cache at a 205W TDP. It was the backbone processor for two-socket virtualization nodes (like Lenovo SR650 V2, Dell R750, and HPE DL380 Gen10 Plus) throughout 2021 to 2024. In the refurbished enterprise hardware market, it is exceptionally liquid and popular for enterprise server refresh projects. Buyers should inspect LGA 4189 gold pads.
