HPE 715222-B21 Xeon E5-2609 v2 2.50 GHz processor upgrade

Xeon E5-2609 v2 processor upgrade

This HPE 715222-B21 is a refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2609 v2 quad-core processor upgrade operating at 2.50 GHz. It belongs to the Xeon E5-2600 v2 product family and uses a 22 nm process technology. The unit provides 10 MB of L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache with 64-bit processing support.

Suitable for compatible HPE server maintenance

This processor suits administrators maintaining existing HPE servers that require the E5-2600 v2 series. It is not for buyers who need higher core counts or faster clock speeds than the 4 cores and 2.50 GHz offered here. It is also not for builders assembling new platforms that use different socket types or newer processor generations.

4 cores with 10 MB L3 cache for light workloads

The quad-core design with 10 MB L3 cache handles basic server tasks and light virtualization workloads comfortably. It runs out of headroom when applications demand more than four simultaneous threads or require larger cache pools for data-intensive processing. The 6.40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect and 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface provide the system bandwidth available to this model.
