Intel Xeon E52658 2.1GHz 8-core switch module
Eight-core Xeon processor running at 2.1 GHz with 20 MB L3 cache for LGA 2011 servers
- Eight cores handle parallel workloads efficiently
- 1 GHz base frequency drives consistent throughput
- 20 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 95 W TDP fits standard server power envelopes
Eight-core Xeon processor module
The Intel Xeon E52658 is an eight-core server processor operating at 2.1 GHz with 20 MB of L3 cache. It uses a 32 nm manufacturing process and fits the FCLGA2011 socket. The module has a thermal design power of 95 W and supports an 8 GT/s QPI link for multi-socket communication.
Upgrade from lower-core Xeon parts
This CPU replaces dual-core or quad-core Xeon models when a workload needs more parallel threads within the same socket and power envelope. The jump is worth it for virtualisation hosts or database nodes that can use eight cores but do not require a higher core count or a newer socket generation.
Highlights
- Eight cores handle parallel workloads efficiently
- 1 GHz base frequency drives consistent throughput
- 20 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 95 W TDP fits standard server power envelopes

Questions about this item
What socket and TDP does the Xeon E5-2658 need on a server board?
It fits an FCLGA2011 socket and is rated at 95 W, so the motherboard must support that power envelope.
Which installation step is most often missed with this processor?
Applying fresh thermal paste and tightening the heatsink in a cross pattern to ensure even contact across the 8-core die.
