Intel® Xeon™ Platinum 9242

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 is a server processor with 48 cores and 96 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 71.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.5 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the FCBGA5903 socket. Rated TDP is 350 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 has 48 physical cores and runs 96 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Platinum family, uses the Cascade Lake architecture, carries the codename Cascade Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Apr 2019.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 has 48 MB of L2 cache and 71.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 119.5 MB of cache, or 2.49 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L2 at 48 MB and L3 at 71.5 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 60% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 supports DDR4 memory, uses 12 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,933 MT/s and delivers up to 281.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 uses the FCBGA5903 socket.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 has a rated TDP of 350 W.
