INTEL Xeon 5318N 2.10GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N is a third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor built for density-oriented data center deployments, offering 18 cores and 36 threads at a 2.10 GHz base frequency. It targets system integrators and refurbishers supplying virtualization hosts, cloud nodes, and database servers, with an emphasis on balanced compute-per-watt in multi-node environments. As with all Xeon Scalable parts, confirm motherboard socket and BIOS support before ordering, since platform compatibility varies by vendor and board revision.

Good to know
- The 5318N belongs to Intel’s N-series (network-density) variants within the Ice Lake-generation Xeon Scalable Gold family, and requires a compatible server-class socket with proper BIOS support — always cross-check your platform’s QVL before purchasing.
- With 18 cores, AVX-512 support, and VT-x/VT-d virtualization extensions, it sits above the lower-core Gold SKUs for mixed virtualization and storage-controller duty, while higher-clocked or larger-cache siblings remain preferable for latency-sensitive single-thread workloads.
- The 150 W TDP demands adequate chassis airflow and cooling headroom; when sourcing for cluster builds, buy units from a single batch to keep stepping and firmware behavior consistent across nodes.
