Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 was once a powerhouse for demanding tasks. Based on the Ivy Bridge EP architecture, it proved to be a reliable choice for data centers. We know that such processors are known for their longevity. With its ten cores and twenty threads, this processor offered impressive multithreading performance.

Especially in applications that require many parallel calculations, it could show its strengths. The generous L3 cache of 25 MB supported efficient data processing. Manufactured in the 22 nm process, it formed a solid and energy-efficient foundation. Support for PCIe 3.0 enabled fast connections to expansion cards.

This connectivity was of great importance for servers and workstations at the time. A maximum memory bandwidth of 60 GB/s managed the intense data flow confidently. Anyone looking for a cost-effective solution for server tasks today will often still find a suitable partner in it. Its robust core performance is still remarkable for many scenarios.Ten Cores and Twenty ThreadsGenerous 25 MB L3 CacheSupport for PCIe 3.0Robust Design and Longevity
