Xeon E5-1680 v4 Details

Ranking #404 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Xeon E5-1680 v4 presents a compelling case for high-end workstation and server environments, particularly where single-threaded responsiveness and multi-threaded throughput are both critical. Released in 2016, the processor belongs to the Broadwell EP family and is built on a 14 nm process, showcasing Intel's mature manufacturing at the time. Though now over seven years old, its performance still holds relevance in specific professional and legacy server workloads, especially given its 8-core, 16-thread configuration enabled by Hyper-Threading. The chip operates at a base frequency of 3.4 GHz, with a turbo boost up to 4.0 GHz, and supports a maximum memory bandwidth of 5000 MT/s over a DMI 2.0 bus, paired with a 140 W TDP that reflects its performance-oriented design.

The Xeon E5-1680 v4 leverages the Broadwell microarchitecture, featuring 2 MiB of L2 cache and a substantial 20 MiB L3 cache, which aids in data retrieval efficiency for demanding applications. It supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory, making it suitable for memory-intensive tasks such as virtualization, database management, and rendering. The processor is designed for the C610 Series chipset and uses the LGA 2011-3 socket, which was common in high-end server and workstation platforms during its era. It also supports advanced features like Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, Enhanced SpeedStep Technology, Intel vPro, and Intel TXT, enhancing both performance and security.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon E5-1680 v4 achieves a single-core score of 5659, placing it at #451 in the single-core rankings, which is competitive among older processors but falls significantly behind modern flagship CPUs. Its multicore score of 5568 ranks it at #368, indicating strong multi-threaded performance relative to its peers. The overall score of 5623 positions it among the top tier of older-generation Xeons, though it trails behind more recent Intel and AMD offerings. In comparison, it is slightly slower than the Xeon E5-2680 v4 but faster than many Xeon E-2200 and Xeon E-2300 series CPUs, suggesting it remains a solid performer in its segment.

While the processor lacks integrated graphics, its focus is squarely on compute power, making it ideal for workstations and servers where discrete GPUs are used. The absence of modern instruction sets like AVX-512 limits its applicability in AI or scientific computing, but it remains capable in traditional enterprise environments. As of March 2026, the Xeon E5-1680 v4 is best suited for users maintaining legacy systems or those seeking cost-effective, reliable performance in non-gaming, non-content-creation roles. Its longevity speaks to its robust design, but newer processors have surpassed it in every benchmark category, especially in single-core efficiency and power efficiency.
