Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 Server Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 2.5 GHz Processor delivers performance to your workstation or server by offering twelve cores and a cache size of 30MB. Hyper-Threading technology doubles the number of processes of the cores, which allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system. Armed with this many cores and amount of cache, it is well suited for use in different applications and environments such as data centers or financial services. Furthermore, it operates in a range of 2.5 to 3.3 GHz to deliver processing power when needed, thanks to Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0.

This Xeon v3 processor utilizes Haswell architecture that provides energy savings and supports DDR4 memory. This type of memory also consumes less power and provides performance during memory-intensive workloads to enterprise systems. For setup, you would install this processor onto a server motherboard that features an LGA2011-3 socket. When compared to previous versions of the Xeon processors, this processor features an AVX 2.0 extension that doubles the instruction set to 256-bits and provides up to 1.9x performance gains.
