INTEL Xeon 5220 2.20GHz CPU
The Intel Xeon Gold 5220 is an 18-core, 36-thread processor from the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), designed for mainstream dual-socket servers. With a 2.2 GHz base clock and turbo up to 4.0 GHz on the LGA 3647 socket, it suits virtualization hosts, compute nodes, and storage controllers in enterprise and data center environments. Note that its actual memory and platform behavior depends on the server motherboard and BIOS support, so confirm platform compatibility before ordering.

Good to know
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard supporting 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable processors (Cascade Lake); many 1st-gen Skylake boards are compatible via BIOS update, but this is board-vendor dependent and should be confirmed.
- Within the Xeon Gold 52xx series, the 5220 sits as the high-core-count option at 18 cores, offering more parallelism than lower-numbered Gold models while sharing the same DDR4-2666 memory and PCIe 3.0 platform characteristics.
- Buying tip: for dual-socket builds, source matched steppings/lot codes where possible to minimize firmware surprises, and budget for adequate cooling given the 125 W TDP.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
