Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 was once designed for demanding server and workstation environments. This CPU chip, manufactured by Intel, set clear standards in its class. Its multi-thread performance is particularly noteworthy. With 14 cores and 28 threads, it still offers a very solid foundation today. Many computationally intensive tasks benefit from this.

It was manufactured using the 22 nanometer process. It is based on the robust Haswell E architecture. Another advantage is the generously sized 35 MB Level 3 Cache. This extensive cache ensures very fast data access. It significantly supports efficiency in complex calculations. In addition, the maximum memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s was very good for its era.

This processor remains a perfectly viable choice. This applies to systems that benefit from a high core count. They do not necessarily require the very latest hardware. It can still be found in many reliable machines. There, it continues to demonstrate its original strength well. It consistently delivers reliable performance.
  • 14 cores and 28 threads
  • 35 MB Level 3 Cache
  • 68 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth
