Intel Xeon E5-4620 v2 2.6 GHz Octa-core Switch Module
Eight-core Xeon processor running at 2.6 GHz with 20 MB L3 cache for dense server deployments
- Eight cores handle parallel workloads efficiently
- 6 GHz base frequency delivers steady compute throughput
- 20 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency for large data sets
- 22 nm process technology improves performance per watt
- 20 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect accelerates multi-socket communication
Product identity
The Intel Xeon E5-4620 v2 is an octa-core server processor clocked at 2.60 GHz with 20 MB of L3 cache and a 7.20 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect. Built on 22 nm process technology it supports 64-bit processing and fits Socket R platforms. It is designed for multi-socket servers that need balanced compute density.
Who it suits and who it does not
This CPU suits operators refreshing or expanding E5-4600 v2 based infrastructure where eight cores and a 2.60 GHz base frequency match the workload profile. Buyers who need higher core counts or newer instruction-set extensions should look at other platforms because this part is fixed at eight cores and the v2 microarchitecture.
Deciding specification
The defining figure is the 20 MB L3 cache combined with an 8-core 2.60 GHz configuration on the E5-4600 v2 series; if your server board and memory subsystem are qualified for that exact cache and core combination the processor will integrate without change.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the Xeon E5-4620 v2 produce when running continuously at 2.60 GHz?
The processor uses a 22 nm process and has a base clock of 2.60 GHz, which determines its thermal output under sustained load in a server chassis.
What socket and interconnect does the Xeon E5-4620 v2 require to operate?
It installs in a Socket R motherboard and uses a 7.20 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect for multi-socket communication.
Can the Xeon E5-4620 v2 run alongside an older Xeon E5-4600 series processor in the same system?
The E5-4620 v2 belongs to the E5-4600 v2 series and requires a compatible Socket R platform; mixing with the earlier E5-4600 series is not supported.
