Intel Xeon 6741P Review
Intel Xeon 6741P 48-core 96-thread server processor, 2.5GHz base / 3.9GHz boost, 270W TDP, 96MB L3 cache, Granite Rapids, LGA 4710 socket
The Intel Xeon 6741P is the standard mid-clock member of the 48-core Granite Rapids group, running 0.4GHz higher than the base 6740P while sharing its clock profile with the 6748P twin SKU.
Performance and Architecture
With 48 cores and 96 threads, the Intel Xeon 6741P steps up from the 6740P's base clock, running a 2.5GHz base that boosts to 3.9GHz on Intel's Granite Rapids performance (P-core) silicon, backed by 96MB of L3 cache.
Platform and Memory
The Intel Xeon 6741P uses the LGA 4710 platform in a 1S/2S configuration, supporting 8-channel memory up to 2TB (8-channel DDR5-6400). It occupies the mid-clock slot in the 48-core lineup, matched clock-for-clock by the 6748P.
Comparison to Alternatives
Within the 48-core Granite Rapids group in this catalog, the Xeon 6741P runs 0.4GHz higher base clock than the entry 6740P and shares its exact clock profile with the 6748P, while trailing the premium 6747P by 0.2GHz. Against AMD's EPYC processors in this catalog, it competes on Intel's AMX/CXL platform features and mature enterprise software ecosystem.
