Lenovo Thinksystem Sr630 Intel Xeon Gold 5118 105w 2.3ghz 12 Core 24 Thread Computer Processor

Overview

The Lenovo 7XG7A05536 is a processor option kit that equips your ThinkSystem SR630 server with the Intel Xeon Gold 5118. This LGA 3647 processor runs at a 2.3 GHz base frequency and delivers 12 physical cores with support for 24 simultaneous threads, providing balanced compute power for demanding, multi-threaded workloads. With 16.5 MB of cache, it keeps frequently accessed data close to the cores, helping applications respond quickly even when handling large data sets. Its 105 watt thermal design power makes it a practical choice for data center environments that must balance performance with energy efficiency.

Installing this processor is straightforward: simply place it in the available socket of an SR630 chassis and update system firmware if required. This upgrade allows your server to handle heavier virtual machine density, database transactions, or analytics tasks without the cost and complexity of a full server replacement. It is well suited to mid-size businesses, managed service providers, and enterprise branch offices looking to expand computing capacity.
