Form factors

Memory type

DDR5-6400 RDIMM, 12 channels (MRDIMM-8800 supported)

Memory bandwidth (GB/s)

614.4

Bandwidth basis

DERIVED, not a printed Intel bandwidth. ARK lists 12 memory channels and DDR5-6400. 12 x 8 x 6.4 = 614.4 GB/s theoretical peak per socket at 1 DPC. SST-PP also exposes a 400 W / 2.0 GHz profile; the stored TDP is the 500 W Server Mode profile.

TDP (W)

500

Unified memory

yes

Consumer part

no

notes

96-core Granite Rapids-AP. Same 12-channel socket as 6980P, fewer cores, same 500 W TDP. Wikipedia's SKU table truncates this row (TDP cell missing); ARK is authoritative: TDP 500 W, 12 channels, 3.9 GHz max turbo.
