Xeon E5-2670 v2 deca-core upgrade
This HPE processor upgrade adds a 10-core Xeon E5-2670 v2 running at 2.50 GHz to compatible servers. It targets IT teams expanding virtualised workloads or refreshing older E5-2600 v2 platforms. The unit is sold in refurbished condition. Buyers who need a newer microarchitecture or higher core counts should look elsewhere.
Capacity and headroom for virtualised workloads
Ten cores and 25 MB of L3 cache give comfortable headroom for multi-tenant virtual machines and database instances. The 2.50 GHz base clock sustains steady throughput while the 3.30 GHz overclocking speed handles short bursts. Systems limited to 8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect or 22 nm process nodes will not scale beyond this processor.
Bundled accessories and software impact
The package contains only the processor upgrade itself; no heatsink, mounting hardware or software licences are included. Installation therefore requires existing compatible cooling and a supported HPE server chassis. Without those parts the upgrade cannot be deployed.
Highlights
- 10 cores handle parallel workloads
- 50 GHz base clock runs server tasks
- 30 GHz turbo boost lifts peak performance
- 25 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 22 nm process technology improves efficiency

Questions about this item
Will the 715216-B21 Xeon E5-2670 v2 work with other E5-2600 v2 processors already installed in my server?
The processor is part of the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 product family and is designed for dual-processor configurations within that same series, allowing it to operate alongside another E5-2600 v2 CPU.
How can I confirm the 715216-B21 Xeon E5-2670 v2 is running at its specified 2.50 GHz base clock after installation?
Check the processor speed reported in the system BIOS or operating system hardware monitoring tools; it should show a base frequency of 2.50 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.30 GHz under load.
Does the 715216-B21 Xeon E5-2670 v2 come with a heatsink or thermal paste, or must I purchase them separately?
The product is a processor upgrade kit containing the CPU only; a compatible heatsink and thermal interface material are not included and must be sourced separately for your specific server model.
