INTEL Xeon 5222 3.80GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5222 is a Cascade Lake workstation/entry-server processor for buyers who need high single-thread clocks in a scalable platform — suited to latency-sensitive workloads such as storage controllers, compute gateways, or lightly threaded virtualization hosts. Note that with only 4 cores / 8 threads, it trades core density for frequency, so it is not the right pick for heavily parallel virtualization or rendering farms. As an LGA 3647 part, platform availability depends on compatible Cascade Lake-era motherboards and chipsets.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| CPU Model | Intel Xeon Gold 5222 |
| Architecture | Cascade Lake (14nm) — second-gen Xeon Scalable family |
| Cores / Threads | 4 cores / 8 threads (Hyper-Threading enabled) |
| Base Clock Speed | 3.8 GHz |
| Max Turbo Frequency | 4.6 GHz (Intel Turbo Boost) |
| Cache | 16.5 MB Intel Smart Cache |
| TDP | 125 W (verify chassis cooling headroom) |
| Memory Support | Up to 1 TB DDR4-2933 ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM (maximum; actual support is platform dependent) |
| Memory Channels | 6 |
| PCI Express | PCIe 3.0, 48 lanes |
| Socket | LGA 3647 |
| Integrated Graphics | None (discrete GPU or BMC graphics required) |
| Key Technologies | Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, AVX-512, Intel Secure Key, SGX |
| Release Date | Q2 2019 |
Good to know
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard supporting Cascade Lake (Purley platform) — earlier Skylake-SP boards may not support this CPU without a BIOS update, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Within the Xeon Scalable Gold family, the 5222 is a frequency-oriented outlier: most Gold parts offer more cores at lower clocks, making this model better for single-thread-bound tasks than for scale-out density.
- Since it launched in Q2 2019, buy as part of a refresh or expansion of an existing LGA 3647 deployment rather than a new-build platform; validate DDR4-2933 RDIMM/LRDIMM availability for your region.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
