Intel BX80635E52640V2

Overview

The Intel BX80635E52640V2 is a Xeon E5-2640 v2 processor designed for servers and high-end workstations, delivering reliable multi-threaded performance with eight physical cores and sixteen threads. It operates at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz, which can boost up to 2.5 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, making it well suited for demanding tasks like database management, virtualization, and rendering. This processor supports ECC memory for enhanced data integrity and connects via PCIe 3.0 to handle high-bandwidth storage and expansion needs.

Key features

• Eight cores and sixteen threads enable efficient multitasking and parallel processing for complex workloads.
• Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 dynamically increases clock speed to 2.5 GHz when extra performance is needed.
• 20 MB Smart Cache reduces latency by keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores.
• PCIe 3.0 interface supports fast connections to NVMe storage, 10 GbE network cards, and GPUs.
• ECC memory compatibility ensures data accuracy and system stability in critical environments.
• Intel Hyper-Threading technology increases thread count without adding physical cores, improving throughput.
• Built-in virtualization features simplify server consolidation and improve resource management.
• Security enhancements like AES New Instructions and Trusted Execution Technology protect sensitive data and system integrity.
• 95 W thermal design power balances strong performance with manageable cooling requirements.
• Designed for LGA 2011 socket motherboards common in many servers and workstations.

Connectivity and compatibility

This processor connects through PCIe 3.0, providing ample bandwidth for modern NVMe SSDs, high-speed network cards, and powerful GPUs used in compute-intensive or visualization tasks. It fits into motherboards with the LGA 2011 socket, which are widely used in server and workstation platforms. ECC memory support adds reliability for mission-critical applications where data integrity is essential.

Performance and reliability

With eight cores and sixteen threads, this Xeon processor handles multi-threaded workloads efficiently, making it a strong choice for virtualization, database operations, and rendering. The 20 MB Smart Cache helps reduce memory bottlenecks, while the 95 W TDP allows for dense server configurations without excessive cooling. Security features like AES New Instructions and Trusted Execution Technology provide hardware-level protection for sensitive environments.

Ideal uses and environments

This processor is well suited to data centers, private clouds, test labs, and branch office servers where stable, multi-threaded performance and data integrity are priorities. It fits well in 1U or 2U rackmount chassis and supports workloads that require virtualization and secure data handling, such as finance, healthcare, and government applications. Upgrading an existing LGA 2011 platform or building a cost-effective compute node are practical scenarios for this Xeon model.

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.

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.
