Intel Xeon Gold 5118 12 Cores 24 Threads 3.2GHz P (LGA 3647) CD8067303536100 Server CPU

Enterprise Server CPU Foundation featuring scalable 2S/4S architecture with the Intel Xeon Gold 5118

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 (SKU CD8067303536100) is a 1st Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor for LGA3647 platforms designed for balanced compute density in virtualization hosts and general-purpose datacenter nodes. With 12 cores and 24 threads, the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 targets mixed infrastructure services where predictable throughput, platform stability, and controlled power envelopes are prioritized over extreme core counts.

Built on Skylake-SP, the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 supports DDR4 memory with ECC across a capacity profile up to 768 GB, enabling reliable consolidation for VM clusters and mid-sized database tiers. Up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes provide deterministic expansion for NICs, HBAs, and NVMe backplanes via platform controllers, while Intel VMD helps streamline storage device management in compliant server designs. In 2-socket and scale-up 4-socket configurations, 2 UPI links support coherent interconnect topologies suited to shared-memory applications and service aggregation nodes. Security and acceleration features including AES-NI, AVX-512, VT-x/VT-d, and TXT align the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 with modern isolation, encryption, and vectorized compute requirements.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon Gold 5118?

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 delivers a pragmatic density-to-performance ratio for enterprises standardizing on Intel C621/C622/C624/C627/C628 chipset platforms, where lifecycle control and validated configurations matter. The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 scales cleanly from 2S to 4S deployments, supporting growth without changing operational tooling, while maintaining predictable thermals for rack-dense server builds.

Intel’s server CPU engineering emphasizes platform longevity, microcode governance, and ecosystem validation across memory, I/O, and firmware stacks. This approach helps the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 integrate reliably into controlled datacenter standards, particularly where ECC memory integrity and virtualization features are mandatory.

Key Applications:

• Virtualization hosts and VM consolidation
• General-purpose datacenter compute nodes
• Infrastructure services (directory, DNS, monitoring)
• Mid-tier databases and transactional services
• Network and storage gateway servers
