Refurbished quad-core Xeon server CPU

This IBM-branded processor is an Intel Xeon E5-2609 v2 with four cores running at 2.50 GHz. It is a refurbished upgrade part identified by MPN 46W2836. The unit targets IT teams refreshing compatible server platforms for virtualised or cloud workloads.

Suits capacity-focused refreshes.

The quad-core design and 2.50 GHz clock suit administrators adding parallel throughput to existing infrastructure. Buyers who need higher per-core frequency, more cores, or newer instruction sets should evaluate alternative parts.

DDR3-1866 memory controller decides fit

The integrated memory controller supports DDR3 at 1866 MT/s, so the host system must provide matching DIMM slots and chipset support. Confirm the platform accepts this memory specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the processor is running at its rated 2.50 GHz after installation?

Check the CPU frequency in the server BIOS or use a system-information tool such as lscpu to confirm the clock speed reads 2.50 GHz under load.

What is included with the Lenovo 46W2836 and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the Xeon E5-2609 v2 processor only; a compatible Socket S motherboard, DDR3-1866 memory modules and a suitable cooler must be sourced separately.

Which capacity or version of this Xeon E5-2609 v2 should I choose for my server?

This model is a single quad-core 2.50 GHz variant with 10 MB L3 cache; select it when your Socket S platform requires exactly four cores and 6.40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect.
