HP 721399-B21 Xeon E5-2680 v2 10-core 2.8 GHz processor kit

HP Xeon E5-2680 v2 10-core processor kit

This HP processor kit delivers a 10-core Xeon E5-2680 v2 running at 2.8 GHz with 25 MB L3 cache. It uses the FCLGA2011 socket and an 8 GT/s QPI link. The 22 nm design has a 115 W TDP and is validated for the ProLiant SL210T Gen8 server platform.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous demand the 115 W thermal envelope remains constant, so system cooling must handle that steady heat output. The 8 GT/s QPI bandwidth provides consistent inter-socket throughput for multi-threaded workloads. The 25 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency during long compute runs. Buyers needing higher core counts or newer instruction sets should consider other options.
