Ten-Core Xeon for Dense Servers
The Intel Xeon E5-2470 v2 is a deca-core processor built for multi-socket server platforms. Its ten cores running at 2.40 GHz deliver parallel throughput for virtualised workloads and private cloud infrastructure. The 22 nm process technology balances density with power efficiency in rackmount environments.
QuickPath and DMI Interface Limits
System communication relies on an 8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect between processors and a 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface to the chipset. These link speeds cap inter-socket bandwidth and I/O throughput, constraining cluster scaling and storage controller performance. The fixed frequencies cannot be adjusted beyond the specified rates.
25 MB Cache and Turbo Headroom
A shared 25 MB L3 cache and 2.50 MB L2 cache reduce latency for large working sets common in database and virtualisation tasks. Turbo Boost raises clocks to 3.20 GHz on active cores, providing burst capacity for short-lived spikes. Sustained all-core loads remain at the base frequency, limiting prolonged single-thread performance.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the E5-2470 v2 with 10 cores at 2.40 GHz or a lower-core variant?
The E5-2470 v2 provides 10 cores at 2.40 GHz with 25 MB L3 cache; choose it when your workloads benefit from high thread count and large cache, otherwise a lower-core model may suffice.
What does the 2.40 GHz base clock mean once the processor is installed in a server?
The 2.40 GHz base clock is the guaranteed frequency across all 10 cores under typical server loads, with Turbo Boost allowing up to 3.20 GHz on active cores when thermal headroom exists.
How does the 8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect limit real-world performance?
The 8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect sets the maximum link speed between this processor and other system components, capping inter-socket bandwidth and coherence traffic to that rate in multi-socket configurations.
