Intel® Xeon™ Gold 5118

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 is a server processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Jul 2017. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 16.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 768 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 105 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 scores 1,763 in single-core performance and 16,699 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,426 for overall performance, 13,323 for productivity performance, 12,358 for creator performance, 18,160 for engineering performance and 9,464 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,392 per core, 696 per thread and 159 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 530. Its performance index is 67, so its overall performance is 33% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 scores 57,737 in integer math, 35,558 in floating-point math, 255,834 in compression, 6,304 in cryptography, 1,227 in physics simulation, 15,634 in vector SIMD, 77 in the prime sieve and 32,021 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 2% below in integer math, 23% below in floating-point math, 12% above in compression, 45% below in cryptography, 13% above in physics simulation, 1% above in vector SIMD, 15% above in the prime sieve and 41% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz and boosts up to 3.20 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Gold family, uses the Skylake architecture, carries the codename Skylake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jul 2017.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 has 768 KB of L1 cache, 12 MB of L2 cache and 16.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 29.3 MB of cache, or 2.44 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 768 KB, L2 at 12 MB and L3 at 16.5 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 56% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 768 GB of memory, uses 6 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s and delivers up to 115.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 has a rated TDP of 105 W.
