Intel CM8064401831000 Xeon E5-2630 v3 Eight-Core Renewed Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 is an eight-core, sixteen-thread processor built on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture at 22nm. With a base clock of 2.4 GHz that turbos up to 3.2 GHz and 20 MB of Intel Smart Cache, it was originally designed for demanding server and workstation environments where sustained multi-threaded throughput matters more than peak single-core speed. The 85W thermal design power keeps it within reach of standard tower cooling solutions, making it a practical choice for both rackmount servers and desktop workstation builds.

This renewed unit has been tested and certified to function like new, offering a cost-effective entry point into multi-core Xeon performance. It connects via the LGA 2011-3 socket and supports DDR4 memory, giving it a meaningful bandwidth advantage over its DDR3-era predecessors. While the Haswell architecture is several generations old, the E5-2630 v3 remains a capable processor for virtualization hosts, media encoding, software compilation, and other tasks that benefit from high core and thread counts at a budget-friendly price point.
