The Intel Xeon Gold 6152 was a server/workstation processor with 22 cores, launched in July 2017. It is part of the Xeon Scalable lineup, using the Skylake-SP architecture with Socket LGA3647. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 44 threads. To further increase overall system performance, up to eight Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs can work together in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon Gold 6152 has 30.25 MB of L3 cache and operates at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 2.8 GHz depending on workload. Intel is manufacturing the Xeon Gold 6152 on a 14 nm production node using an undisclosed number of transistors. The multiplier is locked on Xeon Gold 6152, which limits its overclocking potential. With a TDP of 140 W, the Xeon Gold 6152 requires robust cooling solutions. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a six-channel interface and a maximum speed of 2666 MHz. ECC memory is supported, which is crucial for mission-critical systems to prevent data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Xeon Gold 6152 uses a PCI-Express 3.0 connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card may be necessary. Hardware virtualization (Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables) is available on the Xeon Gold 6152, significantly improving virtual machine performance. The processor also supports advanced technologies including Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, AVX-512 instructions, and Intel Advanced Vector Extensions.
