About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 is a server-class processor built for systems that require consistent multi-threaded performance and compatibility with the LGA3647 platform. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it is well suited to workloads that benefit from parallel processing, including virtualization, application hosting, and general enterprise server use. Its 2.30GHz base clock and 3.20GHz turbo clock provide a balanced mix of steady operating frequency and responsive burst performance, while the 16.5MB Smart Cache helps support efficient data access during active workloads. As part of the Intel Xeon Gold family, this CPU is intended for dependable operation in compatible server environments where stability and platform support are important.
Performance & Scalability
With 12 physical cores and 24 threads, the Xeon Gold 5118 offers the processing capacity needed for multi-user and multi-tasking server deployments. The processor’s architecture is designed to handle demanding workloads across business applications, virtualization layers, and backend services without relying on a single high-frequency core approach. Support for DDR4-2400 memory and PCIe 3.0 helps ensure the CPU can work within a capable platform that supports modern server components and expansion devices. The 105W TDP makes it important to pair the processor with a compatible cooling solution and system design, but it also reflects the class of performance expected from a Xeon Gold CPU in rack or tower server builds. For organizations looking to scale a system around a proven Intel server processor, the 5118 provides a practical foundation for balanced compute performance.
Storage Flexibility
While the processor itself does not define storage capacity, its PCIe 3.0 support helps the surrounding platform connect to a range of storage controllers and expansion options commonly used in server environments. This makes the Xeon Gold 5118 a suitable choice for systems that may be configured with SSDs, RAID controllers, or other storage hardware supported by the motherboard and chassis design. Because it is built for the LGA3647 ecosystem, it fits into server platforms that are often selected for flexible storage layouts and scalable infrastructure. When paired with the right board and backplane, this CPU can support a storage-focused build that is organized for performance, reliability, and future expansion.
Why Choose This Product?
The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 is a strong option for buyers who need a genuine Intel server processor with a clear balance of core count, clock speed, and platform compatibility. It is especially useful for replacing or upgrading an existing LGA3647-based system where matching specifications matter. The combination of 12 cores, 24 threads, DDR4-2400 memory support, and PCIe 3.0 compatibility makes it a versatile choice for many enterprise and workstation-style server applications. For IT teams, resellers, and system builders, this CPU offers a straightforward path to maintaining or expanding a compatible Intel Xeon platform with hardware designed for dependable server use.
About this processor
Intel Xeon 5118, a 12 core, 24 thread LGA3647 processor at 2.30GHz with 3.20GHz turbo, 16.5MB cache and a 105W rating, refurbished. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The Xeon 5118 is a twelve core processor of Intel's first generation Xeon Scalable family for the LGA3647 socket, sold as the Gold 5118 and catalogued by Intel in the Gold 5100 series. It offers 12 cores and 24 threads at a 2.30GHz base and 3.20GHz turbo, 16.5MB of cache, six channels of DDR4-2400 memory and 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes, at a 105W rating that sits between the Silver and the mainstream Gold parts.
Buyers in Qatar fit the refurbished 5118 to 14th generation Dell and Gen10 HPE servers as a mid-range processor for virtualisation and application hosting, where twelve cores at a modest wattage are enough and the cost of the 6100 series Gold parts is not justified. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock.

Part numbers and identification
Buyers search for "Xeon 5118", "Silver 5118", "Gold 5118" and "5118 LGA3647", and all refer to this processor.
| SKU | CPU-INTEL-XEON-5118 |
| Model | Intel Xeon 5118 |
| Family | Xeon Scalable, first generation, 5100 series |
Specification
The 5100 series shares the Silver parts' 2400 MT/s memory speed and the Gold parts' higher clocks and core counts, which is exactly how the figures below read.
| Cores | 12 |
| Threads | 24 |
| Base clock | 2.30GHz |
| Turbo clock | 3.20GHz |
| Smart Cache | 16.5MB |
| Socket | LGA3647 |
| TDP | 105W |
| Memory support | DDR4-2400, six channels |
| PCIe | PCIe 3.0, 48 lanes |
Twelve cores is also a convenient count for virtual machine sizing and for software licensed in packs of cores, and the 3.20GHz turbo keeps lightly threaded tasks responsive.
It is a good general purpose processor: a pair gives 48 threads for a virtualisation host, the 105W rating keeps cooling simple, and six memory channels per socket feed it well. Its limits are the 2400 MT/s memory ceiling and the smaller cache compared with the 6100 series, neither of which matters for typical business workloads.
Installation
Any first generation Xeon Scalable server accepts the 5118 with its shipping firmware. Clip the processor into the carrier, mount the carrier on the standard heatsink, lower onto the LGA3647 socket and tighten the four screws in the marked order. Pair only with another 5118. Fit 2400 MT/s DIMMs, six per socket; faster memory works but runs at 2400 MT/s.
