Intel Xeon 6747P socket: LGA 4710

What the Xeon 6747P is

The Intel Xeon 6747P is a high-frequency 48-core member of the Xeon 6 Granite Rapids stack on Socket LGA 4710. It runs 48 Performance-cores with Hyper-Threading for 96 threads at 2.7 GHz base with boost to 3.9 GHz and 3.8 GHz all-core turbo, backed by 288 MB of cache and a 330 W TDP. Intel launched the 6700P and 6500P range on February 24, 2025 at a 7277 USD recommended price, built on Intel 3 for dual-socket performance racks, with server and compute SST modes.

Forty-eight fast cores suit databases, analytics clouds, content platforms and virtualization estates where density and frequency must rise together. The 2.7 GHz base keeps sustained work moving, while all-core bursts to 3.8 GHz hold parallel jobs at high frequency. The 288 MB cache pool keeps large working sets near the cores.

Against the 48-core Intel Xeon 6740P below it, the 6747P adds base frequency across the cores at a higher 330 W class. Against the 64-core Intel Xeon 6767P above it, the 6747P trades cores for clocks. 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 6747P fits LGA 4710 in the FCLGA4710 package, measuring 77.5 × 56.5 mm. Boards support one or two sockets with this dual-capable part, so one 6747P fills a performance node or pairs with an identical 6747P 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 96 threads per socket supplied in database and analytics 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 fabrics, 100-gigabit and faster networking and accelerators without lane sharing pressure. Lane bifurcation follows board firmware, so architects confirm slot maps before committing to a performance layout.

Cooling follows the board vendor list for the 330 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, the path up from the 6747P starts with the 64-core Intel Xeon 6767P for more cores on LGA 4710 boards where the budget allows. The 64-core Intel Xeon 6776P follows for higher peak turbo. Each move keeps memory investments where the board allows, plus a BIOS that already supports Granite Rapids.

The step down to the 48-core Intel Xeon 6740P trims clocks for the 270 W class. A move to BGA 4368 is a different soldered platform with single-socket edge nodes. That change replaces board, memory and cooling from scratch.
