Intel® Xeon™ Gold 5120T

The Intel Xeon Gold 5120T is a server processor with 14 cores and 28 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Jul 2017. Clocks run from 2.2 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 19.25-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 5120T scores 1,849 in single-core performance and 18,127 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,789 for overall performance, 14,371 for productivity performance, 13,298 for creator performance, 20,280 for engineering performance and 10,079 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,295 per core, 647 per thread and 173 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 565. Its performance index is 72, so its overall performance is 28% 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 5120T scores 64,755 in integer math, 40,750 in floating-point math, 291,859 in compression, 7,117 in cryptography, 1,151 in physics simulation, 17,682 in vector SIMD, 80 in the prime sieve and 37,061 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 10% above in integer math, 11% below in floating-point math, 28% above in compression, 38% below in cryptography, 6% above in physics simulation, 14% above in vector SIMD, 19% above in the prime sieve and 64% 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 5120T has 14 physical cores and runs 28 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.20 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5120T 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 5120T has 512 KB of L1 cache, 14 MB of L2 cache and 19.3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 33.8 MB of cache, or 2.41 MB per core.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5120T has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 512 KB, L2 at 14 MB and L3 at 19.3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 57% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5120T 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 5120T does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5120T uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5120T has a rated TDP of 105 W.
