Intel Xeon E7-8890 v2
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E7-8890 v2 was specifically designed for demanding server environments. With its Ivy Bridge EX architecture, it formed a foundation for complex and data-intensive calculations. Particularly noteworthy was the then-remarkable number of 15 cores and 30 threads. This enabled very good parallel processing of many tasks simultaneously.

The generous Level 3 cache of 38 MB also contributed significantly to fast data availability. This allowed processes to run more efficiently and smoothly. For systems that depended on maximum reliability and scalability, the Intel Xeon E7-8890 v2 was a proven solution. Manufactured using the 22 nm process, it represented state-of-the-art production technology at the time.

This processor impressively demonstrated the performance that Intel could provide for mission-critical applications. It still stands for robust and durable server hardware. We have found that it still works reliably in certain specialized areas.
  • High core and thread count (15 cores, 30 threads)
  • Large Level 3 cache (38 MB)
  • Designed for server and data-intensive applications
