About this part
Refurbished Intel Xeon Gold 5218R, a 20-core, 40-thread processor for LGA 3647 two-socket servers. The Xeon Gold 5200 series is the mainstream Gold tier of Intel's 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake-SP) family: six DDR4-2666 channels (DDR4-2933 on the 5222), 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes and Optane persistent memory support. It is the balanced pick for virtualization and database hosts.

Compatibility
This Cascade Lake-SP part fits LGA 3647 boards only, not LGA 4189 servers. A 1st Gen Xeon Scalable server needs a Cascade Lake capable BIOS first (2.1.x or newer on Dell 14th gen), flashed with the old CPUs installed; do not mix generations. In the Dell PowerEdge R740, pair it with Dell's high-performance heatsink kit. It sits at the Dell PowerEdge R540 ceiling of 20 cores and 125 W. This SKU sets memory at DDR4-2666, so faster DIMMs clock down. This refresh part is two-socket only. In a two-socket build, run a matched pair: the same SKU in both sockets.

When to Choose This
The Gold 5218R is the core-count value pick: twenty cores and forty threads at 125 W, four more cores than the 5218 at the same power. It suits VM consolidation and container hosts in two-socket servers. Trap: it is two-socket only and runs DDR4-2666. The Gold 6230 matches twenty cores with DDR4-2933 and four-socket support at the same 125 W; pick it for memory bandwidth.
