Description
Main Information about this IBM 02JK691
The IBM Xeon 20-core Gold 6242R processor is designed for use in high-performance computing applications, such as data analytics, scientific research, and machine learning. It is based on Intel’s Xeon Scalable Processor architecture and is manufactured using a 14nm process.
The processor features 20 physical cores and 40 threads, thanks to Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. Each core has a clock speed of 3.10GHz and 35.75MB of shared L3 cache. The processor supports up to 2TB of DDR4 memory and features Intel’s Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) instruction set, which is designed to accelerate vector operations and improve performance on compute-intensive workloads.
The design of the processor is optimized for high performance and energy efficiency. The 20 cores are organized into two 10-core clusters, with each cluster sharing a dedicated L2 cache. This design helps to minimize latency and improve performance for multi-threaded workloads.
The processor also features Intel’s Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, which automatically identifies the two best-performing cores and boosts their clock speed for improved single-threaded performance. Additionally, the processor includes Intel’s Speed Select Technology, which allows users to prioritize performance, power efficiency, or a balance of both based on their specific application needs.
In terms of power consumption, the IBM Xeon 20-core Gold 6242R has a thermal design power (TDP) of 205 watts. This is a high-power processor, designed for use in servers and other high-performance computing environments where power consumption is not a primary concern.

Security Features and Enhancements
The Intel Xeon Gold 6242R processor, which is used in the IBM 02JK691 system, includes several security features and enhancements to protect against various types of attacks. Some of these features are:
- Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX): This feature enables developers to create isolated, secure enclaves in which sensitive data and code can be executed securely. This helps protect against attacks such as data theft, tampering, and side-channel attacks.
- Intel Threat Detection Technology (Intel TDT): This feature includes several sub-features, such as Advanced Platform Telemetry, Accelerated Memory Scanning, and Intel Security Essentials. These sub-features work together to provide enhanced threat detection capabilities, including malware detection and mitigation, memory scanning, and hardware-assisted security.
- Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT): This feature helps protect against firmware-level attacks by establishing a trusted execution environment in which the system can securely boot and run. This helps prevent attacks such as rootkits, bootkits, and other forms of malware.
- Intel Identity Protection Technology (Intel IPT): This feature provides two-factor authentication and other forms of identity protection to help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data. This can include features such as one-time passwords and biometric authentication.
- Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT): This feature provides a hardware-based trusted platform module (TPM) for secure storage of keys, credentials, and other sensitive information. This helps protect against attacks such as key theft and credential stuffing.
These security features and enhancements help make the IBM 02JK691 system more secure and better protected against a wide range of threats and attacks.
