INTEL Xeon 5215 2.50GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5215 is a 10-core, 20-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Skylake Refresh), designed for mainstream dual-socket and up to 4-socket servers. With a 2.5 GHz base clock, turbo up to 3.4 GHz, and 6-channel DDR4-2666 memory support, it fits virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage controller workloads. Note that the LGA 3647 socket requires a compatible Purley-generation platform, so verify motherboard and BIOS support before ordering.
Key specifications (table)

Good to know
- Compatibility: requires an LGA 3647 motherboard with firmware supporting 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake Refresh); stock-cooled 1U/2U servers should confirm the 105 W TDP is within their thermal envelope.
- Family positioning: sits in the entry tier of the Gold range — the Bronze series offers fewer features, while Gold 62xx/Platinum parts add more cores, higher memory speeds, and additional AVX-512 FMA units; 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes per CPU is typical for this platform generation.
- Buying tip: for virtualization clusters, plan your DIMM population to actually use all 6 memory channels per socket, since bandwidth drops noticeably with fewer populated channels.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
