INTEL Xeon 5120 2.20GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5120 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the first-generation Xeon Scalable family, designed for dual-socket servers and workstations on the LGA 3647 platform. It suits virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or controller nodes where balanced core count and memory bandwidth matter. Buyers should verify motherboard socket (LGA 3647) and BIOS compatibility before ordering, as first-generation Scalable parts have specific platform dependencies.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | Intel Xeon Gold 5120 |
| Architecture | Xeon Scalable, first generation (source notes “likely from an earlier generation”) |
| Cores / Threads | 8 cores / 16 threads |
| Base Clock Frequency | ~2.2 GHz (typical for mid-range Xeon Gold 5100-series) |
| Max Turbo Frequency | Up to ~3.1 GHz |
| L3 Cache | ~11 MB (typical for this class) |
| TDP | ~85 W (estimated range — verify against platform cooling) |
| Process Technology | 14 nm (common for Xeon Scalable v1) |
| Socket / Package | LGA 3647 |
| Memory Support | 6-channel DDR4 (ECC supported) |
| Maximum Memory Capacity | Platform dependent — supports large ECC memory configurations |
| Interconnect (UPI) | Multiple UPI links (enables multi-socket configurations) |
| PCI Express / I/O | High PCIe lane count for I/O expansion (lane availability platform dependent) |
| Instruction & Acceleration Features | AVX-512, Hyper-Threading, Virtualization (VT-x, VT-d) |
| Enterprise Features | ECC memory, RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability), virtualization support |
Good to know
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard; confirm chipset and BIOS support for first-generation Xeon Scalable (Sky Lake-SP) processors, and note that 6-channel DDR4 performance depends on populating all memory channels per the platform guide.
- Within the Xeon Scalable family, the Gold 5120 sits in the mid-range Gold tier of the 5100 series — more cache and features than Bronze/Silver parts, below the higher-core Gold 61xx and Platinum ranges, with UPI links enabling scalable multi-socket builds.
- The ~2.2 GHz base, ~3.1 GHz turbo, and ~85 W TDP figures in the source are marked as typical/estimated; request the official Intel ark specification sheet from us before purchase to confirm exact values for your deployment.
