Xeon E5-2680 server processor upgrade
The HP 670522-001 delivers an Intel Xeon E5-2680 octa-core processor running at 2.70 GHz. It is built for HP servers that use the E5-2600 product family. The module targets administrators who need to add compute capacity to existing qualified platforms.
Replaces slower E5-2600 series CPUs
This upgrade swaps out a lower-frequency or fewer-core E5-2600 processor for the 2680 model with eight cores at 2.70 GHz. The jump is worth it when workloads such as virtualization or database tasks demand more parallel threads and reduced I/O latency through Intel Integrated I/O.
Installs into the existing server socket
Installation follows the standard processor swap procedure for the host server; no extra cabling or firmware tools are required beyond the system's normal update path. The most common issue is applying the upgrade to a chassis or BIOS revision that does not support the E5-2680, so verify the server's qualified parts list first.
