Name: Intel Xeon Gold 5318Y Processor - 2.1 GHz - 24 Cores - 48 Threads - 36MB Cache - LGA4189
Brand: Intel
Availability: InStock

Intel Xeon Gold 5318Y Processor makes its mark as part of Intel’s 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable family, launched in Q2'21 and optimized for demanding server and workstation workloads.

This Intel Xeon Gold 5318Y (Ice Lake) delivers 24 physical cores and 48 threads with a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and an Intel Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz, offering a balanced mix of steady throughput and burst performance for mixed and latency-sensitive tasks.

Built on a 10 nm process, the processor features 36 MB of cache, an octa-channel DDR4 memory interface supporting up to 6 TB of memory at 2933 MHz, and ECC support to maintain data integrity in critical environments.

With a TDP of 165 W and LGA4189 socket compatibility, the 5318Y targets 2-socket (2S) server platforms and cloud computing deployments that demand scalability, reliability, and platform-level security features.

Security and virtualization capabilities are comprehensive: Intel SGX (64 GB enclave), Intel VT-x and VT-d, Intel AES-NI, Intel Trusted Execution Technology, and Intel Total Memory Encryption help protect workloads and enable secure multi-tenant and virtualized environments.

For high-throughput I/O and acceleration, the CPU offers up to 64 PCIe lanes (PCIe 4.0), three UPI links, AVX-512 and AVX2 support with FMA units, Intel DL Boost, and crypto acceleration—making it well suited for AI inference, data analytics, and database acceleration.

Typical use cases include cloud infrastructure nodes, virtualized server farms, memory-intensive databases, large-scale analytics, and AI inference at the edge or in the data center; the processor’s octa-channel memory, large cache, and security feature set make it ideal for these scenarios.

Key selling points: 24 cores / 48 threads, 36 MB cache, 2.1–3.4 GHz, octa-channel DDR4 2933 MHz support up to 6 TB, AVX-512 & DL Boost, extensive security and virtualization features, and PCIe 4.0 with 64 lanes.
