The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N is a third-generation Xeon Scalable processor widely stocked for B2B supply to system integrators, server refurbishers, and IT procurement teams building virtualization hosts, cloud nodes, and database platforms. With 18 cores and 36 threads at a 2.10 GHz base clock, this SKU is a proven volume item for multi-node deployments where compute-per-watt and fleet consistency matter.
We supply this part to resellers and integrators under wholesale terms, with batch-matched allocation available so stepping and firmware behavior remain uniform across a customer’s entire server build. Current stock levels, tray-vs-boxed availability, and upcoming shipment schedules can be confirmed before order commitment. Buyers should verify motherboard socket and BIOS/QVL support prior to ordering, as platform compatibility varies by board vendor and revision.

Procurement Considerations
- Batch consistency: For cluster and rack-scale rollouts, we can allocate units from a single production batch, simplifying firmware and stepping management across nodes.
- Platform fit: The 5318N is an N-series (network-density) variant of the Ice Lake-generation Xeon Scalable Gold family; integrators should cross-check the target board’s QVL and BIOS revision before placing volume orders.
- Workload positioning: With AVX-512, VT-x/VT-d, and advanced RAS features, this SKU suits virtualization, storage-controller duty, and database nodes; higher-clocked Gold SKUs may be quoted instead for latency-sensitive single-thread workloads.
- Cooling and deployment: The 150 W TDP requires adequate chassis airflow; we advise integrators on thermal provisioning for dense multi-node builds.
- Compliance and warranty: Shipments are supported with CE/FCC/RoHS declaration documentation for export clearance, and every unit ships with a defined warranty term and structured RMA handling for defective or DOA returns.
