Server processor for virtualised workloads
The Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 is a 14-core server processor running at 2.60 GHz with 35 MB L3 cache. It targets administrators building virtualised data-centre or private-cloud platforms that demand high thread density and 64-bit processing capability.
LGA 2011-v3 socket and 145 W TDP
The chip fits the LGA 2011-v3 socket and carries a 145 W thermal design power, so the platform must provide matching cooling and power delivery. Its 22 nm process technology and 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface define the electrical and physical interface the motherboard must support.
Retail pack includes boxed processor only
The retail package supplies the boxed Xeon E5-2697 v3 processor without a heatsink or fan, meaning the integrator must source a compatible cooling solution separately. No additional cables, brackets or software licences are bundled with this unit.

Questions about this item
What does the 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface cap in practice?
The 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface limits the processor-to-chipset link to 5 gigatransfers per second.
What socket and clearance does the LGA 2011-v3 package need?
It requires a Socket LGA 2011-v3 motherboard with enough space for the 2.1" by 2.0" footprint.
How is the processor seated, and which step is often missed?
Align the notches, lower the chip gently, close the load plate, then torque the heatsink screws in a cross pattern to 145 W spec.
