12-core Xeon upgrade for HPE servers
This processor upgrade adds a dodeca-core Intel Xeon E5-4650 v3 running at 2.10 GHz to compatible HPE systems. It uses the Socket R LGA-2011 interface and is built on a 22 nm process. The part is sold in refurbished condition.
Suits capacity-focused server refreshes.
The 12 cores and 30 MB L3 cache help multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation or database tasks on supported E5-4600 v3 platforms. Buyers needing a single-socket processor or a different socket type should look at other parts.
Socket R LGA-2011 compatibility decides fit
The CPU fits only motherboards with the Socket R LGA-2011 socket used by the E5-4600 v3 series. Verify the server model and socket before purchase because an incompatible socket will prevent installation.

Questions about this item
Does my server motherboard need an LGA-2011 socket for this Xeon E5-4650 v3?
Yes, the processor fits Socket R LGA-2011, so the motherboard must provide that exact socket.
Will the 9.60 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect work with an older E5-4600 v2 processor I keep in the second socket?
No, the v3 series uses a different QPI speed and protocol, so mixing v2 and v3 CPUs in the same system is not supported.
How can I confirm the 12 cores and 2.10 GHz base clock are active after installation?
Check the BIOS POST screen or OS task manager; both should report 12 cores running at 2.10 GHz base frequency.
