Product overview
The Intel Xeon Gold 6240 2.6GHz 18 Core FCLGA3647 Server CPU is supplied under part number BX806956240. In a dual-socket board both sockets have to carry the same model, and the BIOS has to be new enough to recognise it. This is the 18-core part. Send the service tag and we will confirm the firmware revision as well as the chip.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

Who this part is for
- Procurement sourcing a like-for-like CPU replacement under fault
- Teams upgrading compute inside an existing chassis rather than replacing it
- Engineers matching a second socket to the processor already fitted
What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against BX806956240 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
BIOS revision checked
We confirm the firmware level the platform needs to recognise this processor, because a chip the BIOS does not know will not post.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is BX806956240 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will BX806956240 work in my server?
Send the service tag. We check the platform's supported-CPU list and the BIOS revision it requires, and where the board is dual-socket we confirm what is in the other socket. A stepping the firmware does not recognise will not post.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
On a training or inference node the host CPU is sized around the accelerators it feeds, not chosen on its own.
