Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3 is based on the proven Haswell S architecture. It was manufactured using the 22-nanometer process. Intel designed this CPU primarily for use in server environments. It is also a good choice for workstations. One of its most important characteristics is its outstanding reliability.

This consistency is a typical feature of the entire Xeon product line. A crucial function is its support for ECC memory. This is particularly important for users who want the highest data integrity. Errors in the memory are detected and corrected as a result. The processor is equipped with an 8 MB Level 3 cache.

It can still handle basic to medium-heavy tasks with ease. We often find it in systems where high stability is important. It continues to provide a very solid foundation for entry-level servers. Specialized workstations also benefit from its stability. There, it reliably performs its service for less compute-intensive workloads.

Its longevity and proven stability characterize it. This makes it a cost-effective choice for dedicated applications.
  • Haswell S Architecture
  • High Reliability
  • ECC Memory Support
  • Suitable for Entry-Level Servers and Workstations
