Intel BX80644E52620V3

Overview

The Intel BX80644E52620V3 is a Xeon E5-2620 v3 server processor designed to deliver reliable and efficient performance for demanding server environments. It features six physical cores with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, enabling 12 threads to run simultaneously. With a base clock speed of 2.40 GHz and the ability to boost up to 3.20 GHz, this processor balances power consumption and processing power to handle virtualization, database transactions, and application services effectively.

Its 15 MB Smart Cache reduces latency by keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores, while support for up to 768 GB of DDR4 memory across four channels makes it suitable for large in-memory databases and heavily virtualized workloads. The processor’s 85 W thermal design power ensures it operates efficiently within dense server racks without excessive cooling requirements.

Key features

• Six cores with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology allow simultaneous processing of 12 threads, improving multitasking and parallel workloads.
• Base frequency of 2.40 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost up to 3.20 GHz provides extra performance when needed without constant high power draw.
• 15 MB Intel Smart Cache reduces data access times, helping maintain consistent system responsiveness during peak usage.
• Supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 memory across four channels, enabling large-scale virtualization and memory-intensive applications.
• Forty PCI Express lanes offer extensive bandwidth for NVMe storage, high-speed networking, and accelerator cards, enhancing system expandability.
• 85 W thermal design power keeps energy consumption and cooling requirements manageable, even in dense server configurations.
• Optimized for virtualization hosts, mid-tier database servers, and front-end web or cloud nodes that require steady performance and reliability.

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.
