Intel® Xeon™ Gold 5218B

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B is a server processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 3.9 GHz boost. A 22-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 1024 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 125 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B has 16 physical cores and runs 32 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz and boosts up to 3.90 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Gold family, uses the Cascade Lake architecture, carries the codename Cascade Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Apr 2019.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B has 16 MB of L2 cache and 22 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 38.0 MB of cache, or 2.38 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L2 at 16 MB and L3 at 22 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 58% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 1,024 GB of memory, uses 6 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,666 MT/s and delivers up to 128.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5218B has a rated TDP of 125 W.
