Intel Xeon E7-8880 v2
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Xeon E7-8880 v2 is a processor based on the Ivy Bridge EX architecture. At its introduction, this chip set technical benchmarks in its category. It was manufactured using the then-advanced 22-nanometer process. This processor had a high number of cores. This made it particularly well suited for very complex and parallel server tasks.

Another plus was its generous Level 3 Cache of 38 MB. This cache offered significant advantages, especially in very data-intensive applications. The maximum memory bandwidth reached a solid 51 GB per second. The Intel Xeon E7-8880 v2 was primarily intended for demanding data centers. It was used for critical business applications and virtualization.

Its reliability and stable system performance were crucial at the time. These characteristics ensure smooth operation in specific environments to this day. We were always positively surprised at how long such systems remained productive. They still enable use for specific workloads today.
