Intel Xeon E5-2650L 8-Core 1.8GHz 20MB L3 70W Switch Module

SKU CH-66AH-FSPNE

Eight-core Xeon processor running at 1.8 GHz with 20 MB L3 cache and 70 W TDP

  • Eight-core Xeon handles parallel workloads
  • 8 GHz base frequency balances speed and power
  • 20 MB L3 cache keeps hot data close
  • 70 W TDP fits dense switch chassis

Eight-core Xeon for low-power servers

This Intel Xeon E5-2650L processor delivers eight cores running at 1.8 GHz with a 20 MB L3 cache. It is designed for server and workstation builds that prioritise power efficiency within a 70 W thermal envelope. The 32 nm manufacturing process supports dense rack deployments where cooling capacity is limited.

FCLGA2011 socket with 8 GT/s QPI

The chip fits an FCLGA2011 socket and communicates over an 8 GT/s QPI link, so the motherboard must provide that interface and a compatible chipset. Its low 70 W draw frees thermal headroom for additional processors or storage controllers in multi-socket chassis. Builders needing higher clock speeds or greater core counts will need a different Xeon model.

Questions about this item

Will the 70 W TDP become the first limit during sustained loads?

The 70 W thermal design power caps sustained performance before other limits appear.

How much heat and fan noise should I expect from the 70 W Xeon running all day?

A 70 W TDP means moderate heat output; a properly sized heatsink keeps fan noise low during continuous operation.
