Intel BX80621E52650

Overview

The Intel BX80621E52650 is a Xeon E5-2650 processor designed for servers and professional workstations that handle demanding, parallel workloads. It features eight physical cores with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, providing sixteen threads to efficiently manage tasks like virtualization, database operations, and real-time data processing. Running at a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boosting up to 2.80 GHz, this CPU balances multi-threaded throughput with responsive single-thread performance.

Key features

• Eight cores with Hyper-Threading deliver sixteen simultaneous processing threads for heavy multitasking and parallel workloads.
• Intel Turbo Boost technology increases clock speed up to 2.80 GHz to improve performance on single-threaded tasks when needed.
• 20 MB Smart Cache reduces latency by keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores, speeding up application responsiveness.
• Supports up to 384 GB of DDR3 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, enabling large datasets and memory-intensive applications to run smoothly.
• Forty PCIe 3.0 lanes provide extensive connectivity options for high-speed NVMe storage, network adapters, and GPU accelerators.
• Hardware-assisted virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run efficiently on a single physical server, ideal for private clouds and test environments.
• 95 W thermal design power helps maintain manageable energy consumption and cooling requirements in dense server racks.
• Compatible with LGA2011 socket motherboards, offering flexibility for enterprise-grade server and workstation builds.

This processor fits well in data centers, enterprise servers, and professional workstations that require robust multi-threaded performance and large memory capacity. It is a strong choice for IT administrators managing virtual machine clusters, engineers running simulations, and researchers processing large datasets. Its balance of power and efficiency makes it suitable for environments where energy and cooling costs are important considerations.

Orders are processed within 2 business days, which includes verification, packing, and dispatch. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on destination, total weight, and selected speed. Free shipping applies to carts over $100 (excluding heavyweight items). All available options and final pricing are clearly shown before payment so you can choose the service that best fits your needs.

Deliveries are handled by major carriers such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx. Estimated delivery times are displayed at checkout and may vary depending on service level and location. Please note that these are estimates and can be affected by weather, holidays, or carrier volume. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number for real-time updates from pickup to final delivery.

Providing an accurate shipping address helps prevent delays, and changes may be limited once the order has been dispatched. P.O. boxes are supported only when permitted by the selected carrier. Packaging and handoff are optimized to protect items during transit, though oversized or high-weight products may require special handling. All shipping methods and any related constraints are clearly shown during checkout.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, and include all tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. To start a return, please email us for approval. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender. If any item is kept, its value will be deducted from the refund.

Non-returnable items include opened TVs, combos, or monitors 37″ or larger, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method. Please allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping and handling are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in its original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered. To exchange an item, please purchase the replacement separately and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
