Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-Core 28-Thread Server Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 is a powerful enterprise-class server and workstation processor from the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 family. Based on the 14nm Broadwell-EP architecture, it combines 14 physical cores, 28 processing threads, a 2.40GHz base frequency, up to 3.30GHz Turbo Boost frequency, and 35MB Intel Smart Cache.

Designed for dual-socket enterprise platforms, the E5-2680 v4 is well suited for virtualization, database servers, cloud infrastructure, storage systems, rendering workstations, web hosting, and other multi-threaded computing workloads.

14 Cores and 28 Threads

The processor features 14 physical CPU cores and supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology for a total of 28 processing threads. This provides strong parallel-processing capability for virtualization, server consolidation, rendering, databases, and other applications that benefit from multiple CPU cores.

2.40GHz Base and Up to 3.30GHz Turbo

The Xeon E5-2680 v4 operates at a base frequency of 2.40GHz and can reach a maximum Turbo Boost frequency of up to 3.30GHz, providing a balance between high multi-core performance and faster processing for workloads requiring additional CPU frequency.

35MB Intel Smart Cache

A large 35MB Intel Smart Cache provides fast access to frequently used data and instructions, helping improve performance across demanding enterprise and professional workloads.

DDR4-2400 ECC Memory Support

The E5-2680 v4 includes a four-channel memory controller supporting DDR4 memory at 1600, 1866, 2133, and 2400 MT/s. ECC memory is supported when the processor is installed in a compatible server or workstation platform.

Dual-Processor Capability

The E5-2680 v4 supports configurations with up to two processors. A compatible dual-socket system equipped with two E5-2680 v4 CPUs can provide a total of 28 physical cores and 56 processing threads.

40 PCI Express 3.0 Lanes

With up to 40 PCI Express 3.0 lanes per processor, compatible systems can support high-speed network adapters, RAID and HBA controllers, NVMe storage adapters, GPUs, accelerator cards, and other PCIe expansion hardware.

Virtualization Technology

The processor supports Intel VT-x and Intel VT-d virtualization technologies, making it suitable for VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, KVM, and other compatible virtualization and hypervisor environments.
