The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N is a 24‑core, 48‑thread 3rd‑generation “Ice Lake” Xeon Scalable processor manufactured on a 10 nm process for dual‑socket FCLGA4189 platforms. It runs at a 2.10 GHz base frequency with Turbo up to 3.40 GHz, has 36 MB of L3 cache, three 11.2 GT/s Intel UPI links, and a 150 W TDP, delivering strong multi‑threaded throughput for dense virtualization, cloud, and enterprise workloads.
For memory‑intensive workloads, the Xeon Gold 5318N supports up to 6 TB of DDR4‑2667 ECC memory across 8 channels and supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory, allowing large in‑memory datasets with near‑DRAM performance. It also exposes up to 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes for high‑bandwidth connectivity to NVMe storage, networking, and accelerators, and integrates Intel AVX‑512, Deep Learning Boost (VNNI), Speed Select, Resource Director Technology, SGX (up to 64 GB EPC), Total Memory Encryption, Run Sure, and full virtualization support (VT‑x, VT‑d, EPT), making it well‑suited for software‑defined storage, virtualized clusters, analytics, and mission‑critical database servers.
