Intel

Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 10-Core 2.20 GHz 25MB SR2R7

SKU CH-T79A-M8KAQ

Ten-core Xeon processor running at 2.2 GHz with 25 MB cache and 85 W TDP on a 14 nm process

  • 10 cores handle parallel workloads efficiently
  • 20 GHz base frequency delivers steady compute performance
  • 25 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
  • 85 W TDP fits standard server thermal envelopes
  • 14 nm process technology balances density and power efficiency

Socket and platform fit

The Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 plugs into an FCLGA2011-3 socket. Confirm that your motherboard uses this socket and that its BIOS includes support for 14 nm Broadwell-EP processors. A board built only for the earlier v3 line will not start with this chip installed.

Power and cooling headroom

Rated at 85 W, this 10-core CPU needs a cooler and power delivery rated for at least that thermal design power. Verify that your case airflow and voltage regulator phases can sustain 85 W continuously under load. Systems with lighter coolers or limited VRM cooling may throttle.

Multi-threaded workload balance

Ten cores and 25 MB of L3 cache give strong parallel throughput for virtualization, rendering or database tasks. The 2.20 GHz base frequency keeps single-thread speed modest, so workloads that rely on high per-core clocks will see less benefit. Pair with sufficient memory channels to feed all cores.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 SR2R7 come with a heatsink or do I need to buy one separately?

The processor is sold as a tray unit without a heatsink or fan; a compatible LGA 2011-3 cooler rated for 85 W must be purchased separately.

Should I choose this 10-core 2.20 GHz model or a higher-frequency variant for my workload?

This model provides 10 cores at 2.20 GHz with 25 MB L3 cache and 85 W TDP; select it when core count and power efficiency matter more than single-thread speed.

What does the 8 GT/s QPI speed mean for real-world performance in a dual-socket server?

The 8 GT/s QPI link moves data between two sockets at up to 8 billion transfers per second, reducing latency for multi-threaded workloads that span both CPUs.
