Refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2 server processor, green PCB with gold contacts

IBM Refurbished

IBM 46W2843 Xeon E5-2680 v2 10-core 2.80 GHz server processor

SKU CH-YS2J-NJ8G0 MPN 46W2843

A 10-core Xeon server processor running at 2.80 GHz with 25 MB L3 cache and DDR3-1866 memory support

  • Supported memory speedDDR3 1866
  • 10-core performance for parallel workloads
  • 80 GHz base clock for steady throughput
  • 60 GHz turbo frequency for peak demand
  • 25 MB L3 cache to reduce memory latency
  • DDR3 1866 memory controller for high bandwidth

Refurbished 10-core Xeon processor

This refurbished IBM 46W2843 delivers an Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2 with ten cores running at 2.80 GHz. The chip supports a maximum turbo frequency of 3.60 GHz and includes 25 MB of L3 cache. It is designed for server upgrade or replacement scenarios.

Suited for DDR3 1866 platforms needing ten cores

This processor fits systems built around the DDR3 1866 memory controller and the 8 GT/s interconnect. Buyers who need more than ten cores, a different memory generation, or a higher base clock should look at other options.

Ten cores and 25 MB L3 cache decide fit

The decisive specification is the ten-core configuration paired with 25 MB of L3 cache. Confirm that your server board accepts this core count and cache size before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 10-core E5-2680 v2 or a lower-core model from the E5-2600 v2 series?

Pick the 10-core 2.80 GHz version when your workloads need high parallel throughput; fewer-core models run at similar clocks but handle fewer threads at once.

What does the 2.80 GHz clock speed mean once the processor is installed in a server?

It runs at 2.80 GHz base frequency across all 10 cores and can reach 3.60 GHz overclocking speed when thermal headroom allows.

What does the 8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect cap in a dual-socket system?

The 8 GT/s link sets the maximum data rate between the two sockets, limiting inter-processor bandwidth to that speed.
