The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 is a first-generation Xeon Scalable processor (Skylake-SP) designed for dual-socket and scalable multi-socket servers on the LGA 3647 platform. With 6 cores, 12 threads, and a 2.30 GHz base clock, it addresses general-purpose enterprise workloads such as virtualization hosts, web/application serving, and file or storage nodes. It is a stable, well-proven SKU for volume procurement, and integrators should verify motherboard and BIOS compatibility before placing orders, as LGA 3647 platforms vary in supported memory configurations and features.
Wholesale Overview
This SKU is stocked in volume for B2B channel customers, with units supplied from consistent production batches to ensure stepping and spec uniformity across fleet deployments. Batch consistency documentation and test reports are available on request for system integrators and OEM assembly partners.
All units ship with standard commercial warranty coverage and a structured RMA process. Lead times for in-stock inventory are typically short; larger orders can be scheduled against planned production or allocation. Products are CE, FCC, and RoHS compliant for export to most international markets.

Good to know for integrators
- Requires an LGA 3647 motherboard (C620-series chipsets in most first-gen Scalable platforms); confirm BIOS support and DDR4 ECC module compatibility before specifying in BOM builds.
- Within the Xeon Gold family, the 5118 sits at the entry point of the Gold tier, prioritizing efficiency and multi-socket scalability over core count — higher-numbered Gold models offer more cores for denser virtualization or HPC workloads.
- Ideal for budget-conscious fleet refreshes, rack integration projects, and reseller inventory; matched-stepping lots and heat sink availability can be arranged for volume orders.
