Intel Xeon Gold 5118 12-core processor

This Intel Xeon Skylake SR3GF processor delivers 12 cores and 24 threads at a 2.30 GHz base frequency for server and workstation workloads. It fits the FCLGA3647 socket and supports up to 768 GB of memory. The unit is a clean pull with minor cosmetic signs of prior use and ships as CPU only.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Suits technicians replacing or upgrading a compatible Xeon Scalable platform where a tested clean-pull part is acceptable. Not for builders who need a factory-sealed processor with a manufacturer warranty, or systems requiring integrated graphics.

Deciding specification: FCLGA3647 socket

The FCLGA3647 socket is the single factor that determines compatibility. Verify your motherboard supports this LGA 3647 package before purchase, as the processor will not fit any other socket type.

Questions about this item

Which socket standard does the Xeon Gold 5118 use, and what does that limit?

The processor fits the FCLGA3647 socket, so it only works in motherboards built for that land-grid array.

What physical clearance does the 0.250-dimension package need in a laptop chassis?

At 0.250 height, length and width the bare die plus substrate fits slim sockets, but the cooler mounting holes and VRM spacing on the board set the real keep-out zone.

How is the CPU installed, and which step do builders most often miss?

Align the notches, seat the chip flat, close the load plate, then torque the four captive screws in a cross pattern — skipping the cross pattern warps the socket and causes boot failure.
