Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 12-Core 24-Thread Enterprise Server Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 is an enterprise-class server processor designed for dual-socket servers, virtualization platforms, workstations, storage systems and data-center applications. Based on Intel's Broadwell-EP 14nm architecture, it provides an excellent balance of core count, memory capacity, power consumption and enterprise features.

Featuring 12 physical cores and 24 processing threads, a 2.20GHz base frequency, up to 2.90GHz Turbo frequency and 30MB Intel Smart Cache, the E5-2650 v4 is well suited for multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

12 Cores & 24 Threads

The processor provides 12 physical cores with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing up to 24 simultaneous processing threads. This makes it suitable for virtualization, databases, web hosting, application servers and other workloads that benefit from multiple CPU cores.

2.20GHz Base / 2.90GHz Turbo

The E5-2650 v4 operates at a base frequency of 2.20GHz and can reach a maximum Turbo frequency of 2.90GHz using Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0.

30MB Intel Smart Cache

A large 30MB Intel Smart Cache helps improve access to frequently used data and supports efficient performance across demanding server and workstation applications.

DDR4-2400 ECC Memory Support

The E5-2650 v4 supports DDR4 memory speeds of 1600, 1866, 2133 and 2400 MT/s. It provides four memory channels and supports ECC memory on compatible server platforms.

Intel specifies a maximum memory capacity of up to 1.5TB, depending on memory type and system configuration.

Dual-Socket Server Support

The processor supports 2-socket configurations, allowing two compatible E5-2650 v4 processors to be installed in supported dual-CPU server motherboards.

PCI Express 3.0

The processor supports PCI Express 3.0 with up to 40 PCIe lanes, providing connectivity for network adapters, RAID controllers, GPUs, NVMe adapters and other high-performance server expansion devices.

105W TDP

With a thermal design power of 105W, the E5-2650 v4 provides 12-core server performance while remaining suitable for a wide range of compatible enterprise rack-server cooling configurations.
