Intel Xeon Gold 5118
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 was developed for demanding professional environments. It is based on the proven Skylake architecture. Manufactured using the established 14 nm process, it offered a robust foundation for servers and workstations. We repeatedly see how this processor reliably performs its tasks even today.

One of its strengths is the generous Level 3 cache of 17 MB. This enabled rapid data processing, especially with larger data sets. This was crucial for applications that required quick access to information. The maximum memory bandwidth was 115 GB/s. This enabled efficient work with extensive data streams and ensured good system performance.

In addition, the support of PCIe 3.0 offered versatile expansion options. This applied to memory as well as network cards. The Intel Xeon Gold 5118 proved to be a stable and energy-efficient solution. It is still a solid option for existing infrastructures. These are looking for a reliable and also durable basis.

  • Robust foundation for servers and workstations
  • Generous 17 MB Level 3 cache
  • Efficient data processing and good system performance
  • Versatile expansion options via PCIe 3.0
