Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2658 v3 represents an era of robust server processors. Manufactured using the 22nm process, it is based on the proven Haswell E architecture. This processor was a strong choice for compute-intensive tasks at the time. Particularly noteworthy are its twelve cores and 24 threads.

They enable solid multitasking performance. Many applications still benefit from this core count today. Another feature is the generous 30 MB Level 3 cache. This cache significantly speeds up data access. It contributes significantly to the overall performance. The support for PCIe 3.0 is also advantageous.

It offers sufficient bandwidth for expansion cards. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s, it was well-equipped for server solutions. We noted how well it can still be used for certain specialized workloads. For older systems or special applications, the Intel Xeon E5-2658 v3 provides a reliable foundation.

It is particularly suitable where many parallel processes are important. The longevity of these processors speaks for itself.
  • 12 Cores / 24 Threads
  • 30 MB L3 Cache
  • PCIe 3.0 Support
