Intel SR1A5 CM8063501374802 Xeon E5-2690 v2 3.00 GHz Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 (SR1A5) is a ten-core server processor built on Intel's 22nm Ivy Bridge-EP architecture. Running at a 3.00 GHz base frequency with turbo boost up to 3.60 GHz, it strikes a balance between high single-threaded performance and strong multi-threaded throughput. The 25MB L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close to the cores, reducing latency in workloads such as virtualization, database management, scientific computing, and enterprise applications. With Hyper-Threading enabled, the processor handles 20 simultaneous threads, making efficient use of its core resources under heavy parallel loads.

Designed for the LGA 2011 platform, the E5-2690 v2 supports dual-socket configurations, allowing two processors to operate in tandem within compatible server motherboards for up to 20 physical cores and 40 threads per system. It supports DDR3 memory across four channels and is compatible with ECC registered memory for error-corrected data integrity in mission-critical environments. With a TDP of 130W, adequate cooling is essential, but the performance delivered per watt remains competitive for the platform generation. For organizations running LGA 2011 infrastructure or builders seeking high core count server performance at a lower cost than current-generation parts, the E5-2690 v2 is a proven and well-understood choice.
