Intel Xeon E5-2650 20M Cache 2.00GHz 8 Cores 16 Threads Processor

The Intel BX80621E52650 is a Xeon E5-2650 processor created for servers and professional workstations that run heavy, parallel workloads every day. With eight physical cores that each support Intel Hyper-Threading, you have sixteen processing threads available for tasks such as database management, virtualization, and real-time data analysis.

The base clock sits at 2.00 GHz, and Intel Turbo Boost can raise a core to 2.80 GHz when the workload demands faster single-thread responsiveness. A 20 MB Smart Cache keeps frequently used data close to the cores so that applications spend less time waiting and more time completing work.

For memory-intensive environments like large virtual machine clusters or complex simulations, the processor works with as much as 384 GB of DDR3 RAM and offers up to 51.2 GB per second of memory bandwidth. This capacity lets engineers, researchers, and IT administrators load sizeable datasets into memory instead of slower storage.

Forty lanes of PCIe 3.0 connectivity give builders room for multiple high-speed network adapters, NVMe storage cards, or GPU accelerators. Hardware-assisted virtualization technologies allow you to consolidate several operating systems on one physical host without a performance penalty, making it well suited for private cloud deployments and test labs.

All of this performance operates within a 95 W thermal design power, helping data centers keep energy usage and cooling requirements under control. The LGA2011 socket makes the CPU compatible with a wide range of enterprise-class motherboards, giving system integrators flexibility when choosing platforms.
