Intel Xeon 6788P Review

Intel Xeon 6788P 86-core 172-thread server processor, 2.0GHz base / 3.4GHz boost, 400W TDP, 172MB L3 cache, Granite Rapids, LGA 4710 socket

The Intel Xeon 6788P is a parallel-SKU twin of the 6787P, sharing its ceiling-of-LGA-4710 86-core specification as an alternate qualified part number for OEMs and system integrators.

Performance and Architecture

With 86 cores and 172 threads, the Intel Xeon 6788P matches the 6787P's specification exactly, a 2.0GHz base clock boosting to 3.4GHz, backed by 172MB of L3 cache on the LGA 4710 platform.

Platform and Memory

The Intel Xeon 6788P uses the LGA 4710 platform in a 1S/2S configuration, supporting 8-channel memory up to 2TB (8-channel DDR5-6400). As with other twin-SKU pairs in this stack, the choice between 6787P and 6788P usually comes down to OEM qualification.

Comparison to Alternatives

The Xeon 6788P is functionally identical to the 6787P in this catalog, giving system integrators a second qualified part number at the highest LGA 4710 core-count tier. Against AMD's high-core-count EPYC parts in this catalog, both compete on Intel's AMX/CXL platform features.
