Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4 is a processor that has established itself as a reliable choice. It is based on the robust Broadwell E architecture and was manufactured using the 14 nm process at the time. One of its greatest strengths is the high number of cores and threads. This enabled remarkable multi-core performance even then.

This performance remains relevant for many demanding workloads today. Another clear advantage is the generous 40 MB Level 3 cache. This contributes significantly to fast data availability and accelerates processes. The maximum memory bandwidth of 77 GB/s effectively supports data-intensive operations.

In addition, PCIe 3.0 offers broad compatibility for expansion cards. For workstations and servers that require a stable and potent base, it is a good option. It proves how durable good technology can be. Especially in tasks such as virtualization or complex calculations, it shows its strengths.
  • High number of cores and threads
  • Generous 40 MB Level 3 cache
  • Stable performance for workstations and servers
  • Robust Broadwell E architecture
