Lenovo Intel Xeon Gold 5122 4 Cores 8 Threads Server Processor

The Lenovo 7XG7A05547 is a server processor based on the Intel Xeon Gold 5122, created for IT teams that need dependable per-core speed and straightforward scalability inside a Lenovo ThinkSystem environment. It brings four physical cores and eight threads that run at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz, combined with 16.5 MB of shared L3 cache to keep frequently accessed data close to the execution units.

The chip supports up to 768 GB of DDR4-SDRAM spread across six memory channels, allowing administrators to allocate generous memory pools to virtual machines, in-memory databases, or analytics workloads without sacrificing bandwidth. Memory speeds up to 2666 MHz help sustain data flow between the processor and system memory, which is essential when simultaneous users or services compete for resources.

A 105 W thermal design power makes the processor suitable for dense rack configurations where predictable heat output and power draw matter. Intel Hyper-Threading technology lets each core handle two instruction streams at once, while Turbo Boost 2.0 automatically raises clock speed when thermal and power conditions permit. Built-in AES-NI instructions accelerate encryption tasks, supporting secure data transactions with minimal overhead.

The processor installs in an LGA 3647 (Socket P) motherboard and is factory validated for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 server. Typical use cases include virtualization hosts, departmental database servers, file and print servers, and branch office deployments that require reliable throughput without stepping up to a higher core count.
