Intel Xeon E5-2640v2 2GHz 8 Core 16 Threads Processor

The Intel BX80635E52640V2 is a Xeon E5-2640 v2 processor that brings server-class reliability and multi-threaded horsepower to rack systems and high-end workstations. Eight physical cores and Intel Hyper-Threading create sixteen simultaneous processing threads, so database queries, virtual machines, and rendering jobs can run side-by-side without stalling one another.

A 2.0 GHz base frequency keeps energy use in check during everyday workloads, while Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 lifts selected cores to 2.5 GHz the moment extra speed is required. The 20 MB Smart Cache stores frequently used data close to the cores, helping large datasets move quickly through the pipeline and reducing wait times for memory fetches.

The processor connects through PCIe 3.0, unlocking bandwidth for modern NVMe storage, 10 GbE network cards, and powerful GPUs used in compute or visualization tasks. Support for ECC memory adds an extra layer of data integrity that system administrators rely on when uptime and accuracy matter.

Built-in virtualization features simplify the job of consolidating multiple servers onto one box, making the chip a practical choice for private clouds, test labs, or branch office infrastructure. Security-focused capabilities such as AES New Instructions for hardware-accelerated encryption and Trusted Execution Technology for measured boot help protect sensitive information in finance, healthcare, and government environments.

A 95 W thermal design power balances performance and energy consumption, allowing dense installations in 1U or 2U chassis without excessive cooling demands. If you are upgrading an existing LGA 2011 platform or assembling a cost-effective compute node, this Xeon delivers stable performance that will keep critical workloads moving.
