Lenovo Intel Xeon Gold (3rd Gen) 5317 Dodeca-core (12 Core) 3 GHz Processor Upgrade

Upgrade your Lenovo server or high-performance workstation with the Intel Xeon Gold 5317, a 3rd‑generation processor designed for demanding enterprise workloads. This 12‑core, 24‑thread powerhouse delivers reliable multi‑tasking, accelerated data processing, and enterprise-grade efficiency. Built on a modern 10 nm process and engineered for LGA‑4189 sockets, it’s engineered to deliver outstanding performance per watt, helping data centers scale with confidence while maintaining lower total cost of ownership.

  • Unmatched multi-core performance — with 12 cores and 24 threads, the Xeon Gold 5317 excels at heavy multi‑threaded workloads, virtualization, large databases, analytics, and professional rendering. It maintains snappy responsiveness even when dozens of tasks run in parallel, enabling smoother operation in virtualized environments and dense server deployments.
  • High clock speed for burst workloads — a 3.0 GHz base clock paired with a turbo boost up to 3.60 GHz delivers fast single‑thread performance for latency‑sensitive tasks, while maintaining strong throughput during sustained multi‑threaded sessions. This balance helps accelerate real‑time analytics, simulations, and dynamic workloads without sacrificing efficiency.
  • Robust cache for data‑intensive apps — featuring 18 MB of L3 cache, data and instructions stay closer to the cores, reducing memory latency and boosting throughput for large datasets, in-memory processing, and virtualization workloads. The result is faster response times and improved application performance under heavy load.
  • Efficient, modern architecture — built on a 10 nm process technology, the 5317 delivers better performance per watt than earlier generations. This efficiency translates into cooler operation, lower energy costs, and more headroom for sustained performance in data centers and enterprise environments with dense compute demands.
  • Enterprise-ready compatibility and reliability — designed for Lenovo servers with the LGA‑4189 socket and a 150 W TDP, it supports 64‑bit computing and works with enterprise‑grade motherboards that provide ECC memory and virtualization features. This combination is ideal for mission‑critical workloads, ensuring reliability, scalability, and consistent performance over time.

How to install Lenovo Intel Xeon Gold 5317

Installing the Xeon Gold 5317 is straightforward for those upgrading Lenovo servers or compatible workstations. Follow these steps to ensure a safe, reliable upgrade with optimum performance.

  • Prepare and safety check — power down the system, unplug all cables, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Have a clean, static-free workspace and gather the necessary tools for CPU and cooler removal and reinstallation.
  • Access the CPU socket — remove the chassis cover and detach the cooling solution to reveal the motherboard and LGA‑4189 socket. Inspect for any debris or bent pins (on compatible sockets) and ensure the area is clean before proceeding.
  • Install the processor — carefully lift the socket lever and align the 5317 with the socket using the oriented markings to match the pin grid. Place the CPU gently into the socket without applying sideways force, then secure the lever to lock the processor in place.
  • Apply cooling and thermal interface — if your cooler requires thermal paste, apply a thin, even layer and mount the heatsink or cooling bracket securely. Reattach all cooling fans and ensure proper contact with the CPU surface for efficient heat dissipation.
  • Reassemble and configure — reinstall the server chassis, reconnect power, and boot into the BIOS/UEFI. Update firmware if needed and verify that the CPU is recognized. Enable essential features such as ECC memory support and virtualization if your workload requires it. Save settings and boot into the installed operating system.
  • Verify performance — once in the OS, run basic hardware checks and lightweight benchmarks to confirm correct installation. Monitor temperatures, verify multi‑threaded performance, and ensure the system remains stable under load before deploying it into production.
