DELL E5-4620 v2 Xeon 2.60 GHz 8-core processor upgrade
Eight-core Xeon server processor running at 2.60 GHz with 20 MB L3 cache
- Eight cores handle parallel workloads efficiently
- 60 GHz base clock drives responsive compute
- 3 GHz turbo frequency accelerates peak demand
- 20 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 22 nm process technology improves power efficiency
Server processor upgrade
The Dell Xeon E5-4620 v2 is an octa-core server processor upgrade running at 2.60 GHz with a 3 GHz overclocking speed. It targets administrators refreshing compatible Dell PowerEdge platforms that use the E5-4600 v2 series. The 22 nm part delivers 8 cores and 20 MB of L3 cache for multi-threaded workloads.
Thermals and power draw
The processor uses a 22 nm process and supports 64-bit processing with a QuickPath Interconnect at 7.20 GT/s and a Direct Media Interface at 5 GT/s. L2 cache totals 2 MB while L3 cache provides 20 MB for data-intensive tasks. Specific thermal design power and acoustic figures are not supplied.
Build integration
The upgrade fits sockets and chipsets designed for the E5-4600 v2 product line and requires a motherboard that supports the 7.20 GT/s interconnect. It frees compute capacity for virtualised environments and private cloud deployments. Buyers needing higher core counts or newer instruction sets must select a different processor family.

Questions about this item
How do I install this E5-4620 v2 processor upgrade in a compatible Dell server?
Power down the server, open the chassis, locate the processor socket, align the notches on the 22 nm Xeon package, seat it evenly, lock the retention lever, then apply thermal paste before refitting the heatsink.
What maintenance or replacement will this Xeon E5-4620 v2 need over time?
The main ongoing task is renewing the thermal interface between the 2.60 GHz processor and its heatsink whenever the cooler is removed; the chip itself has no user-serviceable parts.
What limit appears first when this 8-core Xeon runs at sustained load?
Thermal limits from the 20 MB L3 cache and 22 nm die will throttle the 2.60 GHz base clock before the 3 GHz overclocking speed can be maintained continuously.
