The Intel Xeon Gold 5217 is a bulk-supply item in our B2B catalog, aimed at resellers, system integrators, and IT procurement teams building or maintaining LGA 3647 platform deployments. As an 8-core, 16-thread SKU from the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable family (Cascade Lake), it delivers a 3.0 GHz base clock within a 125 W thermal envelope, making it a frequent choice for virtualization hosts, application servers, and storage controllers where per-core frequency is prioritized over core density. Integrators should verify that target motherboards use a C621-series chipset and that chassis cooling is rated for the 125 W TDP prior to volume ordering.
Stock is maintained in steady volume with batch consistency guaranteed: units within a single purchase order are drawn from the same production/stepping batch where possible, which simplifies firmware validation and image standardization across multi-node rollouts. All units are wholesale-handled with full warranty coverage and a structured RMA process; defective units reported within the RMA window are replaced or credited through our returns channel without retail-style restocking friction.
Standard lead times for stocked quantities are typically short, and larger or scheduled orders can be planned against confirmed delivery windows — contact us for current allocation. All shipments are export-compliant, with products carrying CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications and documentation available on request for your own compliance files or downstream resale requirements. Every order leaves our warehouse in distributor-grade packing suitable for air or sea freight.
Whether you are a reseller stocking the Xeon Gold range or a system integrator sourcing matched sets for server builds, our trade desk can support tiered pricing, scheduled deliveries, and mixed-SKU consolidation. For pricing above listed volumes or customized supply agreements, request a wholesale quote and our team will respond with a formal offer.

Good to know for integrators
- Platform fit: requires an LGA 3647 socket motherboard with a C621-series chipset; when upgrading fleets from 1st Generation Xeon Scalable systems, confirm BIOS support for Cascade Lake across the installed base before committing to volume.
- Portfolio positioning: within the Xeon Gold line, the 5217 sits at the higher-frequency, lower-core-count end — a natural companion SKU alongside higher-core Gold parts for mixed single-thread/throughput deployments.
- Pre-order validation: verify whether customer platforms require RDIMM or LRDIMM to reach the 1 TB memory ceiling, and confirm cooling headroom against the 125 W TDP across your standard chassis builds.
