Intel Xeon 6732P socket: LGA 4710

What the Xeon 6732P is

The Intel Xeon 6732P is the maximum-frequency 32-core member of the Xeon 6 Granite Rapids stack on Socket LGA 4710. It runs 32 Performance-cores with Hyper-Threading for 64 threads at 3.8 GHz base with boost to 4.3 GHz and 4.2 GHz all-core turbo, backed by 144 MB of cache and a 350 W TDP. Intel launched the part in the second quarter of 2025 at a 5930 USD recommended price, built on Intel 3 for dual-socket frequency racks, with compute and server SST modes.

Thirty-two very fast cores suit databases, EDA tools, financial systems and licensing-bound services where per-thread speed dominates total cost. The 3.8 GHz base leads this batch by far, so sustained single-threaded work runs at desktop-like rates inside a server envelope, while all-core bursts to 4.2 GHz hold parallel jobs at high frequency. One launch table row undercounts boost at 4.1 GHz, and this page follows the ARK manufacturer value of 4.3 GHz.

Against the 32-core Intel Xeon 6737P below it, the 6732P adds nearly a gigahertz of base frequency at a higher 350 W class. Against the 16-core Intel Xeon 6725P frequency specialist below it, the 6732P doubles the cores. Dual-socket support doubles the node where boards allow. See Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works for how socket, platform and firmware fit together on server boards.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The 6732P fits LGA 4710 in the FCLGA4710 package with the E2B carrier, measuring 77.5 × 56.5 mm. Boards support one or two sockets with this dual-capable part, so one 6732P fills a frequency node or pairs with an identical 6732P in a dual-socket rack. LGA 4710 boards are platform designs with vendor-qualified power delivery, memory lists and firmware.

Granite Rapids shares the LGA 4710 socket with Sierra Forest E-core parts, so a board can host either family where the vendor lists it, after a BIOS update where needed. Dual-socket builds require identical part numbers in both sockets. Moving from any other socket is a full platform change with board, memory and heatsinks replaced together.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory on LGA 4710 for this class is DDR5 up to 6400 MT/s in eight channels. Eight channels at these rates keep 64 threads per socket well supplied in database and EDA mixes. Population order varies by board, so the vendor memory list governs every build, with matched DIMMs across sockets.

PCI Express connectivity is Gen 5 with up to 88 lanes on dual-socket designs. That lane budget feeds NVMe arrays and high-speed networking without lane sharing pressure. Lane bifurcation follows board firmware, so architects confirm slot maps before committing to a frequency-node layout.

Cooling follows the board vendor list for the 350 W class. No cooler ships with the tray server part. Firmware power limits can cap draw below the default where a cabinet demands it, at some cost in sustained clocks.

Upgrade paths

On the same socket, there is no faster 32-core part above the 6732P in this batch, so growth on LGA 4710 means adding sockets or cores rather than frequency. The 32-core Intel Xeon 6737P below it keeps high clocks at the lower 270 W class.

The step down to the 24-core Intel Xeon 6527P trims cores for frequency-per-dollar balance. A move to LGA 1700 Xeon 6300P is a different socketed platform with far fewer cores for tiny towers. That change replaces board, memory and cooling from scratch.
