Intel Xeon Processor E5-2630 v4

The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2630 v4 is a 10-core server-grade CPU based on the Broadwell-EP architecture. Released in early 2016, it is designed for dual-socket (2S) workstations and servers, offering a balance of high core counts and power efficiency with an 85W TDP. Key Technical Specifications According to official Intel specifications: Cores/Threads: 10 Cores and 20 Threads via Intel Hyper-Threading. Clock Speed: 2.20 GHz base frequency, with a Max Turbo frequency of 3.10 GHz. Cache: 25 MB Intel Smart Cache. Memory Support: Quad-channel DDR4 1600/1866/2133, supporting up to 1.5 TB of total memory with ECC (Error-Correcting Code) support. Socket: FCLGA2011-3. Lithography: 14 nm. Performance and Compatibility Workload Suitability: Highly effective for virtualization, cloud computing, and enterprise applications requiring parallel processing. Gaming: While primarily a server chip, it can be used for budget gaming builds, especially when paired with modern GPUs like the RTX 4060, though single-core performance may lag behind newer consumer CPUs.
