Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 was once specifically designed for demanding professional tasks. It was manufactured using the 22 nm process and is based on the Haswell E architecture. This processor has always proven to be a reliable component. Even after several years, it remains a considerable option for certain applications.

Its core strength is its multicore performance. With 10 cores and 20 threads, the Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 masters computationally intensive workloads. These include virtualization environments or complex database queries, which it handles with ease. We found how stable and effective it still processes these types of tasks today.

Another advantage is the generous 25 MB Level 3 Cache. This cache significantly helps to make frequently used data quickly available. The support of PCIe 3.0 is also beneficial. It enables a versatile connection of fast expansion cards, which expands the possible applications. Its maximum memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s ensures a fast data exchange with the main memory.

For users looking for a solid, core-rich platform for specialized tasks, this processor remains a worthwhile choice.
  • High multicore performance (10 cores, 20 threads)
  • Generous 25 MB Level 3 Cache
  • Robust and reliable platform
  • Support for PCIe 3.0 and good memory bandwidth
