INTEL Xeon 5218R 2.10GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5218R is a 20-core / 40-thread processor from the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), positioned in the Gold tier for mainstream enterprise deployments. It suits buyers building or refreshing two-socket servers for virtualization, database, and general compute workloads. Note that it uses the FCLGA3647 socket, so platform and motherboard compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an LGA 3647 socket motherboard with Cascade Lake-compatible BIOS/firmware; verify your platform supports this stepping before purchase, as 1st-gen Skylake boards may need updates.
- Within the Gold family, the 5218R offers a higher core count and R-series clock uplift over non-R counterparts like the 5218, at the cost of the higher 125 W TDP — a typical trade-off for dense virtualization hosts.
- Buying tip: confirm ECC DDR4 memory population (ideally all six channels) to realize full memory bandwidth, and confirm 2-socket UPI topology if scaling out.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
