Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
Even years after its introduction, the Intel Xeon E5-2628L v3 remains a very interesting choice for specific server tasks. This processor is based on Intel's established Haswell E architecture, manufactured using the 22-nanometer process. A major advantage is the extensive 25 MB Level 3 cache, which noticeably speeds up access to frequently used data.

The maximum memory bandwidth of 68 GB per second is also remarkable and ensures rapid data transfer. We find that this chip still offers truly solid performance for many workloads even today. Its energy efficiency in conjunction with the proven Haswell E base makes it a reliable component. The support of PCIe 3.0 is crucial for versatile expansion options in server environments.

The Intel Xeon E5-2628L v3 is not primarily designed for maximum speeds, but rather for continuous, stable operations. For users looking for a cost-effective yet reliable processor, it can be a smart choice. It is well suited for building server or workstation projects. Its strengths lie particularly in its longevity and balanced performance.

  • Extensive 25 MB Level 3 Cache
  • High memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s
  • Energy-efficient Haswell E Architecture
  • Stable performance for server tasks
