Refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-core server processor in silver and green finish

IBM

IBM 46W4224 Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-core 2.70 GHz server processor

SKU CH-2Y05-62Z45 MPN 46W4224

A 12-core Xeon server processor running at 2.70 GHz with 30 MB L3 cache and DDR3 1866 memory support

  • Integrated Memory Controller SpeedDDR3 1866
  • 12-core Xeon handles heavy virtualisation workloads
  • 30 MB L3 cache accelerates data-intensive applications
  • 70 GHz base clock with 3.50 GHz turbo boost
  • DDR3 1866 memory controller supports high-speed RAM
  • 22 nm process technology delivers efficient performance

Processor core count and target workloads

The IBM 46W4224 is a refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 server processor with 12 cores running at 2.70 GHz. It is aimed at data-centre operators and workstation builders who need high thread density for virtualization, database serving or compute-intensive batch jobs. Buyers who want more storage or a newer instruction set should look elsewhere.

Memory interface and speed ceiling

The integrated memory controller supports DDR3 at up to 1866 MT/s. This limits total memory bandwidth to the capabilities of that standard, so systems requiring higher throughput per channel cannot be satisfied by this processor.

Cache capacity and thermal headroom

A 30 MB L3 cache and 22 nm process technology provide substantial on-chip capacity for large working sets. The 3.50 GHz overclocking speed indicates the maximum single-core turbo frequency, beyond which the thermal envelope is exceeded.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-core 2.70 GHz model or a lower-core alternative?

The 12-core E5-2697 v2 gives 24 threads at 2.70 GHz base with a 3.50 GHz turbo ceiling, suited for heavy virtualization or compute loads.

What does the 2.70 GHz clock mean once the CPU is installed?

It runs at 2.70 GHz under sustained load and can boost to 3.50 GHz on active cores, while the 30 MB L3 cache keeps data close for multi-threaded work.

What memory speed does the DDR3 controller cap at in practice?

The integrated controller supports DDR3 up to 1866 MT/s; populating all channels at that speed depends on the platform's qualified memory list.
