About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon Silver 5118 is a server processor built for LGA3647 systems and designed to support demanding business workloads in compatible platforms. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it provides a balanced foundation for multitasking, virtualization, and general-purpose server use where dependable processing capacity is important. Its 2.30GHz base clock and 3.20GHz turbo clock help deliver responsive performance across a range of workloads, while the 16.5MB Smart Cache supports efficient data access during active operations. As part of the Intel Xeon Silver family, this CPU is suited for environments that need stable compute resources in a rack server or workstation-style build that accepts the LGA3647 socket. The included support for DDR4-2400 memory and PCIe 3.0 also makes it a practical choice for systems that rely on compatible memory and expansion hardware.
Performance & Scalability
With 12 cores and 24 threads, the Xeon Silver 5118 is well positioned for workloads that benefit from parallel processing, including server applications, light virtualization, and multi-user environments. The combination of a 105W TDP and a 2.30GHz base frequency gives system builders a clear reference point for planning cooling and power requirements within supported platforms. Turbo frequency up to 3.20GHz can help the processor respond to bursts of activity, while the 16.5MB Smart Cache contributes to smoother handling of frequently accessed data. Because it supports DDR4-2400 memory, the processor can be paired with compatible server memory configurations to help maintain consistent performance in systems designed around the LGA3647 socket. PCIe 3.0 support also provides a familiar expansion interface for storage controllers, network adapters, and other add-in cards used in business computing environments.
Storage Flexibility
Although this processor does not include storage itself, its PCIe 3.0 support helps enable flexible system design when paired with compatible motherboards and expansion hardware. In server builds, that can be useful for connecting storage controllers, NVMe adapters, or other add-in components that rely on PCIe lanes provided by the platform. The Xeon Silver 5118 is therefore a strong fit for systems where storage architecture is planned around the motherboard and supporting hardware rather than the CPU alone. Its compatibility with DDR4-2400 memory also supports a well-rounded platform configuration, helping builders match processor, memory, and expansion choices to the needs of the overall system.
Why Choose This Product?
The Intel Xeon Silver 5118 is a practical option for buyers looking for a server CPU with a clear feature set and broad compatibility within LGA3647-based systems. Its 12-core, 24-thread design offers useful processing capacity for business workloads, while the 16.5MB Smart Cache, DDR4-2400 memory support, and PCIe 3.0 compatibility make it suitable for a range of server configurations. For IT teams, resellers, and system builders, this processor provides a straightforward way to refresh or expand a compatible platform with a dependable Intel Xeon Silver solution. It is especially relevant for environments that need a balance of core count, memory support, and expansion capability without moving beyond the specifications of the supported socket and platform.
Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
