Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 once played a crucial role in server environments. It was developed based on the Broadwell E architecture. It was manufactured using the then-advanced 14-nanometer process. With 14 cores and 28 threads, it offered remarkable computing power. This was especially true for tasks that required a lot of parallel processing.

A very positive feature is the generous Level 3 cache of 35 MB. This significantly contributed to the efficient handling of large amounts of data. Also noteworthy is the maximum memory bandwidth of 77 GB/s. It enabled a quick data exchange with the main memory. This processor was an excellent choice.

It was particularly suitable for virtualization environments and data-intensive professional applications. Its performance and reliability made it a robust component. Many IT infrastructures relied on its proven strength. The PCIe 3.0 connection enabled fast connections to expansion cards. We are amazed at how reliably this chip still performs its service today.

It continues to find its place in certain niche areas.
  • 14 cores and 28 threads
  • 35 MB Level 3 Cache
  • 77 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth
  • Robustness and reliability
