Name: Intel Xeon E5-2690V2 Processor - 3.00 GHz Turbo - Lga2011
Brand: Intel

Intel Xeon E5-2690V2 Processor - 3.00 GHz Turbo - Lga2011 launched in Q3'13 and brings server-grade performance to demanding workstation and datacenter environments.

This Intel Xeon E5-2690V2 is part of the Intel® Xeon® E5 v2 family (codename Ivy Bridge EP) and offers a robust combination of frequency and core counts, with a 3.0 GHz base frequency and Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.6 GHz to accelerate burst workloads.

Designed for dual-socket (2S) server platforms with an LGA 2011 (Socket R) interface, the chip features 10 physical cores and 20 threads via Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, 25 MB Smart Cache, and a TDP of 130 W, making it suitable for dense compute tasks and multi-threaded applications.

Memory support is extensive: the processor supports up to 768 GB of DDR3-SDRAM across quad memory channels and a maximum memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. Supported RAM speeds include 800, 1066, 1333, 1600 and 1866 MHz, and ECC memory is supported for increased reliability in server environments.

Connectivity and I/O are strong with two QPI links, a system bus rate of 8 GT/s and up to 40 PCIe lanes compliant with PCI Express 3.0, enabling high-throughput networking, storage and accelerator configurations. The package is sold as Tray and does not include a cooler.

Security and virtualization features are rich: Intel VT-x with EPT, VT-d, Intel AES-NI, Intel Trusted Execution Technology, Intel Secure Key and Intel® vPro™ platform eligibility ensure compatibility with virtualization, encryption and manageability needs for enterprise deployments.

Typical use cases include virtualized server hosts, database servers, compute nodes for HPC, media encoding farms and workstation-class rendering. With its scalability to 2 sockets and strong multi-core throughput, the E5-2690V2 remains a capable choice for legacy and budget-conscious enterprise builds.
