We took a closer look at the
Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 and evaluated its specific properties. This processor is based on the
Broadwell E architecture and is manufactured using the 14 nm process. We noticed that the CPU performs well, especially in parallel tasks. With its 16 cores, the
Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 offers a considerable amount of computing resources.
In our tests, the processor showed consistent performance in the area of single-core calculations. When all cores are utilized, the model unfolds its true strength for parallel processes. We find this characteristic to be absolutely sufficient and very solid for applications such as virtualization or rendering.
The
Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 has a generous L3 cache of 40 MB in total. This capacity helps to significantly reduce delays when accessing frequently used data. Intel specifies the maximum memory bandwidth for the system as 77 GB/s. For the connection of external components, the proven PCIe 3.0 standard is available to the user.
As the direct successor to the Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3, it brings some small but fine improvements. We were surprised how stably the
performance can be accessed over long periods of time. The architecture ensures an efficient distribution of the load across the existing 32 threads. The 4 MB L2 cache also contributes to the general speed of the entire system.
The
Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 remains a reliable component for workstations. We appreciate the robust design, which was specifically developed for use in professional data centers. This processor offers a
balanced basis for professional users with a high demand for cores.
