Dell Intel Xeon Gold 5120 2.2G 10.4GT/s 19.25M Cache 14 Core 28 Threads Computer Processor

The Dell 52GXW is an Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processor that brings 14 physical cores and 28 threads to compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. Running at a 2.2 GHz base clock with a quick 10.4 GT/s interconnect, it supplies steady throughput for demanding workloads while keeping latency low thanks to its 19.25 MB of shared L3 cache.

Support for DDR4-2400 memory lets the processor feed data-hungry applications without bottlenecks. When bursts of activity hit, Intel Turbo Boost automatically raises clock speeds, and Hyper-Threading keeps every core busy to improve parallel performance. Enhanced SpeedStep and Thermal Monitoring work together to balance energy use and heat, maintaining reliable operation within the 105 W thermal design power.

Built-in VT-x with Extended Page Tables provides hardware assistance for virtualization, so administrators can run multiple guest systems with less overhead. This makes the 52GXW a strong fit for data center consolidation, virtual desktop infrastructure, and cloud hosting. It also excels in database services, analytics, and other memory-intensive tasks that benefit from high core counts and wide memory bandwidth.

Because the processor follows Intel’s scalable architecture, organizations can deploy it in single or dual-socket PowerEdge configurations to expand compute capacity as needs grow. The result is a dependable, enterprise-class foundation that supports long-term scalability without disrupting existing infrastructure.
