Intel Xeon E3-1230 v5
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E3-1230 v5 was a very solid choice at the time of its introduction. Manufactured using the proven 14nm process, this processor was based on Intel's efficient Skylake S architecture. This combination ensured a consistently balanced overall performance in its segment. Particularly noteworthy is its 8 MB Level 3 cache.

This contributed significantly to fast data processing, which was advantageous for many applications. For professional applications and smaller servers, it offered a stable base. The high reliability, which is typical of the Xeon line, was always a major advantage. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 34 GB/s, the system could be well supplied with data.

The connection via PCIe 3.0 also offered sufficient scope for various expansion cards. It is remarkable how this processor still performs its stable service in many working environments today. We have often found that its longevity is convincing. It was a sensible investment for users who valued consistency and consistent performance.

  • Architecture: Skylake S
  • L3 Cache: 8 MB
  • Manufacturing: 14 nm
  • High Reliability
