Intel Xeon Gold 5222 4-Core 3.80GHz LGA3647 Cascade Lake Server Processor

The Intel Xeon Gold 5222 (SRF8V) is a 4-core Cascade Lake server processor for the LGA3647 platform, operating at 3.80GHz base with 3.90GHz Turbo and 16.5MB L3 cache. With the highest base clock in the Xeon Gold 5200 series, it targets frequency-sensitive workloads — EDA, financial modeling, gaming server, and single-threaded enterprise applications demanding maximum per-core clock speed in a dual-socket capable platform.

Key Features

• 4 cores / 8 threads at 3.80GHz base — highest base frequency in Xeon Gold 5200 series
• 3.90GHz Turbo Boost for peak single-threaded performance
• 16.5MB L3 cache for frequency-sensitive application workloads
• 6-channel DDR4 ECC memory support per socket
• LGA3647 — dual-socket capable for up to 8 cores per system
• 105W TDP — manageable thermal envelope for high-frequency operation

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a 4-core Xeon Gold over a higher core count model?

The Xeon Gold 5222 offers the highest base clock (3.80GHz) in the Gold 5200 series — ideal for per-core licensed software (Oracle, SAP) and frequency-sensitive workloads where fewer fast cores outperform many slower cores.

Does the Xeon Gold 5222 support AVX-512?

Yes — with 2 AVX-512 FMA units and Intel DL Boost (VNNI), it supports AI inference acceleration and high-performance floating-point workloads.

Is the SRF8V a tray or boxed processor?

The SRF8V S-Spec designates the OEM tray version — no heatsink or retail packaging included. Verify heatsink requirements for your specific server platform.
