INTEL Xeon 5520+ 2.20GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5520+ is a 28-core, 56-thread server processor from the 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Emerald Rapids microarchitecture), suited to virtualization hosts, general-purpose compute, and storage or controller workloads in two-socket platforms. It targets system integrators, data center operators, and resellers sourcing current-generation server CPUs for enterprise builds. Note that deployment requires an FCLGA4677 platform with DDR5 memory support, so verify motherboard compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an FCLGA4677 socket motherboard and DDR5 memory; it is not a drop-in upgrade for older LGA4189/Whitley or Ice Lake platforms, so plan the full platform around it.
- Within the Emerald Rapids Xeon Scalable stack, this Gold-tier part sits in the mainstream enterprise band — above Silver for core count and memory bandwidth, below Platinum parts intended for the most demanding scale-up workloads.
- Buying tip: because this is a 250W TDP processor, confirm your server’s power and cooling specification, and match it with registered DDR5 DIMMs rated for DDR5-4800 operation to avoid memory downclocking.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
