Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 12-Core 2.3GHz 30MB Switch Module
A 12-core Xeon processor running at 2.3 GHz with 30 MB L3 cache and 9.6 GT/s QPI speed for Socket FCLGA2011-3 platforms
- 12 cores handle parallel workloads
- 3 GHz base frequency drives steady throughput
- 30 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 6 GT/s QPI speed accelerates inter-socket data transfer
Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 12-Core Processor
This Intel Xeon processor delivers 12 cores operating at 2.3 GHz with 30 MB of L3 cache. It uses a 22 nm manufacturing process and fits the FCLGA2011-3 socket with a 9.6 GT/s QPI speed. The component has a 120 W thermal design power and is supplied as a processor only.
Suited for multi-threaded server workloads
This module suits administrators upgrading compatible dual-socket platforms that support the FCLGA2011-3 interface. It is not for buyers who need an integrated heat spreader, a bundled cooler, or a processor compatible with newer socket generations.
Highlights
- 12 cores handle parallel workloads
- 3 GHz base frequency drives steady throughput
- 30 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 6 GT/s QPI speed accelerates inter-socket data transfer

Questions about this item
Which motherboard socket is required for the Xeon E5-2670 v3?
The processor uses the FCLGA2011-3 socket, so the motherboard must provide that exact socket.
Will the 9.6 GT/s QPI speed limit performance if I keep an older Xeon with a slower link?
In a dual-socket system both CPUs must share the same QPI speed; mixing a 9.6 GT/s part with a slower link will force the faster chip to run at the lower rate.
