Intel Xeon Gold Processors

Key takeaways

  • 2,551 listings match this collection right now.
  • A Skylake-SP board can accept a Cascade Lake Gold processor with a BIOS update, the same relationship Xeon E5 v3 and v4 share on their socket.
  • Third-generation Ice Lake Gold parts move to eight memory channels at DDR4-3200, up from the six channels the first two Gold generations run at DDR4-2666 or DDR4-2933.
  • Fourth-generation Sapphire Rapids Gold parts move again, to DDR5 memory and socket LGA4677, so neither the Ice Lake board nor its DDR4 memory carries forward.

Xeon Gold is the mainstream tier of the Intel Xeon Scalable family, above Silver and below Platinum, with two-socket and four-socket support and the higher memory speeds. The series number gives the generation: 5100 and 6100 are first generation on LGA3647, 5200 and 6200 second, 5300 and 6300 third on LGA4189, 5400 and 6400 fourth on LGA4677.

How to choose server processors

The socket has to match the board before anything else matters, and multi-socket systems must be populated with identical processor models. Xeon Scalable tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) differ in core count, socket support and memory speed; the older E5 line is split by version (v2 on LGA2011, v3 and v4 on LGA2011-3). Processors ship as the bare part: heatsinks and carriers are platform specific and ordered separately.
