Intel Xeon Processors — Server & Workstation CPUs
Scalable, Xeon E, and Xeon W processors for every server workload
About Xeon Processors
Intel Xeon processors have powered enterprise servers for over two decades. From single-socket entry servers to 8-socket mission-critical platforms, the Xeon lineup covers every server and workstation workload with proven reliability and broad ecosystem support.
We carry Xeon processors across all current and previous generations — whether you need a 5th Gen Scalable (Emerald Rapids) for a new build or a replacement Xeon E5-2680 v4 for an existing platform, we have it in stock.
Intel Xeon Processor Families
- Xeon Scalable 5th Gen (Emerald Rapids) — Up to 64 cores, DDR5, PCIe 5.0. The flagship for new enterprise deployments.
- Xeon Scalable 4th Gen (Sapphire Rapids) — Up to 60 cores, DDR5, PCIe 5.0. Excellent value as 5th Gen arrives.
- Xeon Scalable 3rd Gen (Ice Lake) — Up to 40 cores, DDR4, PCIe 4.0. Strong refurbished market value.
- Xeon E-2400 series — Entry server/workstation, single-socket, up to 8 cores. Cost-effective for SMB.
- Xeon W-3400/2400 — Workstation-class with ECC support, up to 56 cores. CAD, simulation, data science.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Xeon Gold and Platinum?
Xeon Gold processors (53xx/63xx) support up to 2 sockets with moderate core counts and features. Xeon Platinum (83xx/84xx) supports up to 4-8 sockets, higher core counts, larger caches, and advanced features like Intel SGX and Speed Select Technology. For most 2-socket servers, Gold provides better value. Platinum is for large-scale mission-critical deployments.
Can I upgrade my server CPU from Xeon v3 to v4?
No. Each Xeon generation uses a different CPU socket. Xeon v3 uses LGA 2011-3, v4 also uses LGA 2011-3 (compatible within Gen), but Scalable Gen1/2 use LGA 3647, and Gen3+ use LGA 4189 or LGA 4677. You can only upgrade within the same socket generation. Check your motherboard documentation.
Intel Xeon vs AMD EPYC — which is better for servers?
Both are excellent. AMD EPYC currently offers more cores per dollar and higher memory bandwidth (8-channel vs Xeon 8-channel in Gen5). Intel Xeon has broader ecosystem support, more validated platforms, and advantages in specific workloads (AVX-512, Intel QuickAssist). Choose based on your specific workload, existing ecosystem, and vendor support preferences.
How many VMs can a Xeon processor handle?
A general rule: plan 1 vCPU per physical core for normal workloads, up to 3-5 vCPUs per core for light workloads. A 24-core Xeon Gold can comfortably run 24-72 VMs depending on workload intensity. Memory is usually the limiting factor before CPU in virtualization deployments.
