Identity & purchasing scope

Intel Xeon 6556P-B — technical record and sourcing reference. This processor model carries 22 recorded technical fields, including total cores 36, total threads 72, processor base frequency 2.3 GHz ASTER RACKIT confirms price, stock and condition inside the quotation process — treat this page as the identity baseline.

This record identifies Xeon 6556P-B in the Intel processors catalog. Its classification is processor model. Preserve the full identifier when comparing offers: suffixes, revisions and assembly contents are part of the purchasing question.

Prepare an ASTER RACKIT sourcing request for Xeon 6556P-B. Record the exact part number, required quantity and destination system. Review the listed evidence and confirm the offered unit, accessories and compatibility before purchase. Use the technical record to prepare an inquiry rather than as evidence that an item is available, tested, licensed or covered by a particular warranty. Inherited fast-shipping and stock language is not carried into this catalog's commercial fields.

Inherited search aliases: HA8072004834291 · 6556P-B · Intel Xeon 6556P-B Processor · 6556P B. These are lookup aids, not certified equivalents.

Recorded technical specifications

Each field states its evidence status. Inherited and title-derived values remain unverified; reviewed OEM facts do not certify an offered configuration.

Configuration & purchase checks

  1. Keep the model suffix and ordering code. A CPU model, tray code and OEM upgrade kit can describe different purchasing units.
  2. Check the server generation, firmware and thermal support. A matching socket does not by itself prove compatibility.
  3. For a multi-socket system, verify pairing requirements and include the correct heatsinks and carriers in the same review.
  4. Record whether the offer is production silicon, an engineering sample or a qualification sample. Do not infer its status from the model name.
  5. Request top-side markings, package photographs and the stated test scope before accepting a substitution.

Adding an item prepares a local RFQ line. It does not create a price offer, reserve inventory or submit an order.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Xeon 6556P-B?

The Xeon 6556P-B is a recorded Intel processors identity (processor model). Recorded highlights: Total cores 36; Total threads 72.

Are the specifications on this page verified?

The record carries 22 technical fields, each with an evidence label. Reviewed fields come from OEM catalog evidence; unverified fields stay visibly marked and should be confirmed before purchase.

How do I get a price for the Xeon 6556P-B?

Add the record to the quote basket and send the inquiry — ASTER RACKIT confirms price, condition and availability in a written quotation.

Does an image on this page show the actual offered unit?

No. Images are reference material only. Request exact-unit photography with serial numbers before committing to an order.

Platform relationships & upgrade review

No explicit target-platform relationship is provided for this record. Brand, socket, capacity and visual resemblance alone must not be used to invent a compatibility claim.

Related records below are category neighbors. They are not approved replacement parts.

Actual-unit evidence to request

01

Top-side markings

02

Package underside where safe

03

Carrier or protective tray

04

Heatsink if included

05

Production or sample status

No server boot-screen image is attached to this record. Request product photographs and any diagnostic or entitlement record as separate evidence.

Facility reference scenes from our warehouse and test benches. They show the environment and handling standard for this equipment family — they are not photographs of the exact offered unit.

At acceptance, compare the delivered unit, labels and accessories with the approved list. Retain source revisions and receiving records for later maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Is the item currently available?

This is not a live stock feed. Confirm full identifier, condition, quantity, price and delivery scope in a written quotation.

Does this record certify compatibility?

No. Inherited fields and platform associations require review against the exact destination system and current manufacturer documentation.

What should I send in an RFQ?

Include the full identifier, quantity, destination, target platform, condition, accessories and evidence needed for acceptance.

Is a configuration number another server model?

No. Models, ordering configurations, options and reference labels are distinct record types. Ask which actual purchasing unit will be supplied.
