Processore server Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 2,1 GHz 40 MB Smart Cache LGA2011-v3, Quad-Channel DDR4, fino a 1,53 TB, 2S, AVX2

Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 is a server-class processor in LGA2011-v3 format with a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and 40 MB Smart Cache. Built on a 14 nm process, this 16-core, 64-bit CPU supports quad-channel DDR4 memory and is qualified for dual-socket (2S) configurations. It implements the AVX2 instruction set, virtualization extensions including VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), and Intel SpeedStep and thermal monitoring technologies to balance performance, power and platform reliability in enterprise server environments such as PowerEdge systems.

Advantages

The processor provides a balance of multi-threaded compute capacity and large on-die cache suitable for database, virtualization and compute-intensive workloads. Support for quad-channel DDR4 memory and up to 1.53 TB system memory enables large memory footprints for in-memory data sets and virtualization hosts. Hardware virtualization features and EPT reduce virtualization overhead for guest environments while SpeedStep and thermal monitoring help manage power and temperature under sustained load.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• Database servers and in-memory analytics
• High-performance compute and parallel workloads
• Enterprise application servers and multi-tenant hosting

Key specifications

How to use

Install the processor into a compatible LGA2011-v3 motherboard following the server or motherboard manufacturer’s installation instructions and ESD precautions. Ensure proper cooling and power delivery for a 120 W TDP part and configure the platform for dual-socket operation if deploying in a 2S chassis. In firmware/BIOS, enable virtualization features (VT-x, EPT) as required by your hypervisor or virtualization stack and configure memory channels to take advantage of quad-channel DDR4 operation. Apply vendor-recommended thermal interface material and verify system thermal profiles under expected load before moving to production.

Recommendations

Use this processor in server platforms designed for LGA2011-v3 with appropriate cooling and power budgets. For virtualization and memory-intensive workloads, populate memory channels evenly and verify BIOS/firmware settings for NUMA and virtualization optimizations. Monitor temperature and power behavior under sustained load to maintain reliability.
