Xeon E5-2628L v4 Details

The Xeon E5-2628L v4 ranks among the mid-tier processors in the broader performance landscape as of early 2026, with a multicore score of 5968 placing it at #238 out of 2060 processors. While it trails behind the top-tier performers like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, it holds its own in the server and embedded space, competing closely with Xeon Gold and W-series parts. Its single-core performance, scoring 4833 and ranking #1053, reveals a processor that is more balanced in multi-threaded workloads than in single-threaded tasks, a trend consistent with its embedded market positioning.

Built on Intel's Broadwell EP microarchitecture at 14 nm, the Xeon E5-2628L v4 is a 12-core, 24-thread processor designed for embedded and server applications. It operates at a base frequency of 1.9 GHz and can boost up to 2.4 GHz on a single core, with turbo frequencies dropping to 2.1 GHz when all 12 cores are active. This tiered turbo scaling reflects a design focused on sustained workloads rather than burst performance. The processor is manufactured using CMOS technology and features a 306.18 mm² die area, housing 4.7 billion transistors.

Memory and I/O capabilities are robust for its class, supporting up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory with a maximum bandwidth of 8000 MT/s via two channels. It pairs with the C610 Series chipset and uses the QPI bus for inter-processor communication, enabling dual-socket configurations. With a 75 W TDP and a 1200 W maximum power limit, the processor emphasizes energy efficiency, making it suitable for compact server systems and embedded environments where power consumption is a concern.

Cache hierarchy includes 3 MiB of L2 cache and a substantial 30 MiB of L3 cache, which helps reduce memory latency during multi-threaded operations. The processor supports a range of advanced technologies, including Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0, Hyper-Threading, and Intel vPro, ensuring strong virtualization and management capabilities. It also includes support for AVX, AVX2, and AES-NI, which are essential for data-intensive applications such as encryption, compression, and machine learning.

Despite its age—released well before 2026—the Xeon E5-2628L v4 remains relevant in environments where stability, reliability, and compatibility with legacy systems are prioritized. Its performance is outpaced by modern desktop and workstation processors, but in its target market segment, it continues to deliver solid results for tasks such as virtualization, data storage, and industrial automation. For users needing a reliable, energy-efficient processor with strong multi-threaded throughput, the Xeon E5-2628L v4 remains a viable option, especially in systems where upgrading hardware is not feasible.
