Intel Xeon 5118 класса Gold vs Intel Xeon 5120 класса Gold: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon 5118 класса Gold and Intel Xeon 5120 класса Gold: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon 5118 класса Gold has a higher base clock (2.3 GHz vs 2.2 GHz).

At the same time, Intel Xeon 5120 класса Gold has more cores (14 vs 12), more threads (28 vs 24) and a larger L3 cache (19.25 MB vs 16.5 MB).

Both processors match on: maximum clock (3.2 GHz), TDP (105 W), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (768 GB), memory channels (6), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
