Refurbished Xeon E5-2650 v3 Processor
This refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 is a deca-core server processor upgrade running at 2.30 GHz with a 3 GHz overclocking speed. It targets administrators refreshing compatible LGA 2011-v3 platforms who need ten cores and 25 MB L3 cache for virtualised workloads. The 22 nm part carries a 105 W thermal design power and a 78.9 °C thermal specification. It is not for buyers who want more cores, higher base clocks or a newer socket generation.
LGA 2011-v3 Platform Constraints
The processor fits only Socket LGA 2011-v3 motherboards and communicates through a 9.60 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect alongside a 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface. Memory type, channel count and maximum capacity are defined by the platform, not the chip, so the upgrade cannot exceed the board's own limits. Systems without the matching socket and chipset support cannot use this processor at all.
Ten Cores and 25 MB Cache Headroom
Ten cores at 2.30 GHz with 25 MB shared L3 cache give solid throughput for multi-threaded server tasks such as virtualisation hosts and database nodes. The 105 W TDP and 1.3 V input voltage set the cooling and power envelope the chassis must sustain. Workloads that scale beyond ten threads or demand larger per-core caches will hit the ceiling of this silicon.
