CPU Cores and Threads
Xeon Gold processor core and thread counts vary by generation and model. Available configurations should therefore be listed by the exact Intel processor model rather than using a single core or thread count for the entire Xeon Gold family. Dual-socket server platforms can provide two physical processors, with the total number of cores and threads determined by the selected CPU models.
Base and Turbo Frequency
Base and maximum turbo frequencies vary by Xeon Gold processor model and generation. The exact operating frequencies should be specified for each processor configuration rather than using a single frequency range for the Xeon Gold family. Intel Turbo Boost Technology can increase processor frequency above the base frequency when supported operating, power, and thermal conditions are met.
CPU Cache
Xeon Gold processors use a processor cache hierarchy that includes shared cache resources. Cache capacity varies by processor generation and model. The exact cache size should therefore be listed against the specific Xeon Gold CPU configuration.
Memory Support
Memory support depends on the Xeon Gold processor generation and server platform. Supported configurations may use ECC DDR4 or ECC DDR5 memory, with memory speed and channel configuration determined by the selected processor and motherboard. Servers offered through this page can be configured with up to 2TB of system RAM on supported platforms.
PCIe and Platform Features
PCIe connectivity varies by Xeon Gold processor generation and server platform. Available PCIe generation and lane count should be specified according to the selected CPU and motherboard. PCIe connectivity can be used for devices such as NVMe storage and high-speed network adapters where supported by the platform.
