Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 is a remarkable CPU, specifically designed for servers and workstations. It was manufactured using the 14 nm process and is based on Intel's Broadwell E architecture. This model was a mainstay in demanding IT environments during its era. With its 14 cores and solid 28 threads, it offers efficient multithreading performance.

A large 35 MB L3 cache significantly supports fast data processing. Especially in compute-intensive multicore tasks, it continues to demonstrate its strengths. The Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core Score of 695 points convincingly proves this. Single-core performance reaches 124 points in the same benchmark.

A maximum memory bandwidth of 77 GB/s ensures rapid data transfer. We noted how well this processor is still suited for specialized workloads. Its robust design and PCIe 3.0 connectivity also offer solid expansion options. It remains a thoroughly reliable option for certain demanding applications. Where many cores are needed, it can still impress.
