Lenovo SR650 V3 Gold 6426Y 16-Core 185W 2.5GHz | Server CPU

Keep core infrastructure workloads moving with the Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y processor specified for Lenovo SR650 V3 systems. With 16 cores, a 2.5 GHz base frequency, and a 185 W thermal design point, this CPU is built for environments that need balanced compute density and predictable operating characteristics. For virtualization hosts, database tiers, and application servers, the value is not just core count. It is the ability to sustain performance under load while fitting into a platform designed for enterprise serviceability and long-term deployment planning. The Gold tier positions this processor above entry-class options, giving infrastructure teams more headroom for consolidation and workload growth without moving to a higher-power, higher-cost configuration. This is the kind of processor you choose when the server is expected to do real work every hour of the day. In SR650 V3 deployments, it supports the performance profile needed for mixed workloads, controlled power planning, and stable operations in production racks where consistency matters more than headline specs.
