Cisco UCS-CPU-I6240C= Intel Xeon 6240 2.6 GHz 18-Core | Server CPU — UCS-CPU-I6240C=

Keep critical server workloads moving with the Intel Xeon 6240 processor for Cisco UCS platforms. Built around 18 cores and a 2.6 GHz base frequency, it delivers the parallel compute density needed for virtualization hosts, database nodes, and mixed application servers that cannot afford idle cycles. A 24.75 MB cache helps reduce latency on frequently accessed data, while the 150 W thermal design power reflects the class of processor intended for sustained enterprise operation rather than entry-level throughput. DDR4 2,933 MHz memory support aligns with modern UCS architectures, helping the CPU feed data-intensive workloads without unnecessary bottlenecks. This processor fits environments where consolidation ratio, predictable performance, and platform compatibility matter more than headline specs alone. For teams standardizing on Cisco UCS, it provides the compute headroom to extend server life, support heavier workloads, and preserve performance consistency across production systems. Ideal For Virtualization hosts in Cisco UCS chassis Database servers requiring sustained multi-core throughput Application servers with mixed compute and memory demand Enterprise consolidation projects replacing older Xeon platforms Why This Product 1 Higher core count than entry-level Xeon options 2 Balanced 2.6 GHz base clock for mixed workloads 3 Large 24.75 MB cache for better data reuse 4 Designed for Cisco UCS platform compatibility
