Server processor upgrade

The HP Xeon E5-2680 v2 is a ten-core server processor running at 2.80 GHz. It is built for data-centre workloads such as virtualization, cloud services and high-performance computing. The chip delivers energy-efficient performance for demanding enterprise applications.

Replaces earlier Xeon E5-2600 series CPUs

This processor upgrades systems using previous-generation Xeon E5-2600 parts. The jump is worthwhile when workloads need more cores, higher frequency or improved virtualization and security features. Buyers who need higher core counts or newer instruction sets should consider later platforms.

Fits compatible HP server sockets

Installation requires a motherboard qualified for the E5-2600 v2 family and appropriate cooling for a deca-core part. Integrated I/O helps reduce platform bottlenecks by connecting storage and networking directly to the processor. Systems without validated BIOS support or adequate power delivery cannot use this upgrade.
