Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 15M Cache 2.40GHz 6 Core 12 Threads Processor

The Intel BX80644E52620V3 is a Xeon E5-2620 v3 server processor that delivers steady server performance without straining power or thermal budgets. Six physical cores equipped with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology process 12 threads at once, letting your system run virtual machines, database transactions, and application services in parallel.

Its 2.40 GHz base frequency keeps energy use predictable, while Intel Turbo Boost raises speed to 3.20 GHz whenever a workload needs extra headroom. A 15 MB Smart Cache positions frequently accessed data close to the cores, reducing latency and helping the system maintain consistent response times during peak activity.

The processor supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 memory through four channels, a capacity that suits big in-memory databases and heavily virtualized hosts. Forty PCI Express lanes provide ample bandwidth for NVMe storage, high speed network adapters, or accelerator cards. Even with those resources available, the chip operates within an 85 W thermal design power, so cooling requirements stay modest in dense racks.

Real world deployments include branch office virtualization hosts, mid tier database servers, and front end web or cloud nodes that must remain responsive around the clock. Integrators rely on the mature Xeon ecosystem for broad motherboard compatibility, while IT teams value the reliability and long service life that come with Intel server hardware.
