Intel BX80637E31225V2 Xeon E3-1225V2 3.2GHz CPU

The Intel Xeon E3-1225V2 is a quad-core processor built on Intel's 22nm Ivy Bridge architecture, running at a base frequency of 3.2GHz with Turbo Boost capability up to 3.6GHz. Designed for the LGA 1155 socket, it targets entry-level server and workstation environments where consistent, energy-efficient performance is essential. With a 77W thermal design power, it keeps power consumption and heat output manageable — an important consideration in always-on server environments or compact workstation builds.

One of the distinguishing features of the E3-1225V2 within the Xeon E3 lineup is its inclusion of Intel HD Graphics P4000, making it a practical choice for workstations that handle display output without a dedicated graphics card. The processor supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, providing an added layer of data reliability for applications where memory errors could cause costly problems. While the lack of Hyper-Threading means it tops out at four threads, its strong single-threaded performance and Xeon-grade reliability make it a solid choice for applications like file servers, virtualization hosts running a modest number of VMs, and professional workstations.
