Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 once served as a strong foundation for demanding servers and workstations. This processor is based on the Broadwell E architecture and was designed for the highest demands. Back then, it offered very robust performance for complex calculations. A notable feature is its generous 30 MB Level 3 cache.

This enabled fast data access for computationally intensive tasks. Equally important was the high maximum memory bandwidth of 77 GB per second. It was particularly advantageous for data-intensive workloads of that time. We see time and again that it still provides reliable services in certain niches.

The 14-nanometer manufacturing process was state-of-the-art for such chips at the time. Its connection via PCIe 3.0 also offered versatile and flexible expansion options. Although there are now more up-to-date processors, the Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 remains a worthwhile option. It can still impress in systems that require a stable and proven platform.

Especially where a proven architecture is important, it cuts a fine figure.
