Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4 is a processor that primarily demonstrates its strengths in professional environments. Even today, it delivers solid performance for demanding tasks, although it is already a few years old. Its production using the 14 nm process, based on the Broadwell E architecture, was groundbreaking.

This chip still works reliably in many workstations. Particularly noteworthy are the eight cores and sixteen threads of the Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4. The core count enables smooth multitasking and efficient work. The 20 MB Level 3 cache also helps to provide data quickly. This is advantageous for data-intensive processes.

The maximum memory bandwidth of 60 GB/s supports rapid data exchange. This processor remains a good choice for those looking for a stable and cost-effective solution. It continues to provide a solid foundation for systems that benefit from many cores. The support of PCIe 3.0 ensures that expansion cards can be connected well.

  • 8 cores and 16 threads for multitasking
  • 20 MB Level 3 cache for fast data access
  • Solid performance in professional environments
  • Extensive connectivity thanks to PCIe 3.0
