About the 6288H
Dell part number 6288H identifies the 6288H - Dell 3.00GHz 9.6GT/s QPI 30MB SmartCache Socket FCLGA2011-3 Intel Xeon E5-2687W V4 12-Core Processor, an enterprise-grade Intel Unboxed Processors unit appropriate for data-center, server-room, and workstation deployment. Technical specifications include clock speed of 3.00 GHz, bus speed of 9.6 GT/s, cache of Intel Smart Cache, socket of FCLGA2011. Common deployment scenarios include in-place server upgrades from prior Xeon/EPYC generations, matched-pair second-socket installation, hot-spare provisioning, and refurbished rebuild programs for older platforms. Pro Disk Network maintains the 6288H in our enterprise inventory and verifies each unit against manufacturer datasheet specifications prior to listing. New stock ships factory-sealed where available; refurbished units are tested under load before dispatch and ship with a 90-day Pro Disk Network functional warranty. Dispatch in 1–3 business days; free standard ground shipping on US orders over $150.
The 6288H is a Dell intel unboxed processors component with clock speed 3.00 GHz, bus speed 9.6 GT/s, cache Intel Smart Cache. Pro Disk Network sells the 6288H for $4,856.70 with US shipping in 1–3 business days and a 30-day return guarantee.
Confirm the socket against your motherboard's CPU support list - Intel Xeon Scalable spans LGA 3647 (1st/2nd gen), LGA 4189 (3rd gen Ice Lake), and LGA 4677 (4th/5th gen Sapphire/Emerald Rapids). A BIOS update is often required for newer steppings even on the same socket. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your motherboard model for a compatibility check.
How fast does the 6288H ship?
Pro Disk Network usually dispatches the 6288H in 1–3 business days. Multi-pallet projects requiring crating ship within 2 business days. International shipping (Canada, Mexico, EU, APAC) takes 3-7 business days via DHL Express or FedEx International Priority.
The 6288H is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
Citrix VDI Pool — Frequency-sensitive — prefer high-clock 16–18 core SKUs over high-core-count parts to maintain user-perceived snappiness.
Kubernetes / Tanzu Workers — Higher core count amortises better across many small Pods. EVC mode planning matters for live-migrate parity.
AI Inference Host — Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids include AMX silicon for INT8 inference acceleration — meaningful uplift for BERT, ResNet, and LLM serving.
What is the 6288H?
The 6288H is a Dell server-class processor with clock speed 3.00 GHz and bus speed 9.6 GT/s, manufactured by Dell. Pro Disk Network ships this part new and certified-refurbished from our US warehouse with dispatch in 1–3 business days, backed by a 30-day return guarantee.
Pros & Cons of 6288H
Pros
Shipping in 1–3 business days from our US warehouse cuts deployment lead time
Cons
Older microarchitecture — not appropriate for new AI/AMX workloads
Not always silicon-binned for overclocking
Stepping mismatch with newer revisions can require microcode update
Frequently Asked Questions about 6288H
Is the 6288H a genuine Dell part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every 6288H as factory-original Dell inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned Dell servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.
What socket does the 6288H use?
Confirm the socket against your motherboard's CPU support list - Intel Xeon Scalable spans LGA 3647 (1st/2nd gen), LGA 4189 (3rd gen Ice Lake), and LGA 4677 (4th/5th gen Sapphire/Emerald Rapids). A BIOS update is often required for newer steppings even on the same socket. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your motherboard model for a compatibility check.

Socket Compatibility, EVC Mode, and BIOS Revision Planning
For Hyper-V clusters, Live Migration compatibility is more forgiving but still benefits from matched CPU stepping across cluster nodes. For Kubernetes / Tanzu, CPU heterogeneity is acceptable because pods are stateless, but resource-request planning becomes harder when nodes have different core counts.
AI Workloads, AMX, and the Inference Performance Story
Late-generation Intel Xeon processors (Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids) include AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions) silicon that accelerates INT8 inference workloads dramatically. For the 6288H, if AMX is present, BERT-base inference throughput improves 4-6× over the previous generation; LLM inference (Llama 2 7B INT8 quantised) improves 2-3×. AMX does not require code changes when used through libraries that already support it (oneAPI, ONNX Runtime, OpenVINO).
