Xeon Gold 5117 Details

The Xeon Gold 5117 stands as a server-grade processor from Intel, designed for high-performance workloads in data centers and enterprise environments. As of March 2026, this processor is considered a mature offering, having been released several years prior, but it still holds relevance in systems where reliability, memory capacity, and multithreaded performance are key. Built on the Skylake-SP microarchitecture at a 14 nm process, the Xeon Gold 5117 features a base clock of 2.0 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 2.8 GHz, leveraging Intel's Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to dynamically scale performance. With 14 cores and 28 threads enabled via Simultaneous Multithreading, it delivers strong multithreaded performance, making it suitable for virtualization, database management, and other compute-intensive server applications.

The processor integrates a substantial cache hierarchy, including 0.438 MiB of L1 data and instruction cache per core, 14 MiB of L2 cache, and a shared 19.25 MiB L3 cache. This memory architecture supports efficient data access, especially under heavy workloads. It operates at a TDP of 105 W and is packaged in the FCLGA-3647 socket, compatible with Intel's Purley platform. The Xeon Gold 5117 supports up to 768 GiB of DDR4-2400 memory across six channels, delivering a peak memory bandwidth of 107.3 GiB/s, and is designed to scale across up to four-socket configurations.

Intel's Xeon Gold 5117 includes advanced features such as AVX-512, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel vPro technology, which enhance performance in encryption, scientific computing, and system management tasks. It also supports ECC memory, hardware virtualization via Intel VT-x, and advanced power management with Intel Speed Shift and Enhanced SpeedStep technologies. Despite lacking integrated graphics, its focus remains on raw computational power and stability.

In benchmark performance, the Xeon Gold 5117 achieves an Overall Score of 5238, placing it at #671 among 2060 processors, with a Singlecore Score of 4893 (#1013) and a Multicore Score of 5755 (#297). While it trails behind many modern consumer and workstation processors, its performance is competitive with other server CPUs in its class. For example, it outperforms the Xeon Gold 6138 and Xeon D-1528 in both single- and multicore performance but is slightly behind the Xeon Gold 5222 and Xeon E3-1285 v4. In the top 50 multicore list, it falls short of high-end processors like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and EPYC 7552, which score significantly higher.

Given its age and positioning, the Xeon Gold 5117 remains a solid choice for cost-effective server deployments where high core counts and memory bandwidth are essential, but the latest consumer-grade performance is not required. Its strong multicore performance and server-specific features make it a reliable option for legacy systems and workloads that benefit from its extensive memory support and enterprise-grade reliability.
