Xeon E5-2640 v4 Details

The Xeon E5-2640 v4 ranks as a capable server-grade processor, though it is now a mature design by 2026 standards. It sits at #668 overall in the Passmark rankings, with an overall score of 5240, just edging out the Xeon E3-1285 v4 and Xeon Gold 5222 but trailing behind more modern offerings like the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE and Core i5-4670S. In single-core performance, it achieves a score of 5122, placing it at #867, a competitive position against older Intel Core i7 and i5 models but far behind the top-tier processors in the single-core leaderboard. Its multicore performance, however, is its strongest trait, scoring 5416 and ranking #429, outperforming several modern Ryzen and Core processors in multi-threaded workloads.

Built on Intel’s Broadwell EP microarchitecture and manufactured on a 14 nm process, the Xeon E5-2640 v4 features 10 cores and 20 threads, enabled by Hyper-Threading. It operates at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz and can boost up to 3.4 GHz on a single core, though the turbo frequencies scale down with more cores active—dropping to 2.6 GHz on all 10 cores. This makes it well-suited for multithreaded server tasks such as virtualization, database operations, and content rendering, where sustained performance across multiple threads is more valuable than peak single-core speeds.

The processor supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory, with a maximum bandwidth of 50.4 GB/s, and is designed for dual-socket systems using the LGA-2011-v3 socket. It includes 25 MiB of L3 cache and 2.5 MiB of L2 cache, with 0.313 MiB of L1 cache per core. Despite lacking integrated graphics, it supports a wide array of server-oriented features including Intel VT-x, VT-d, EPT, Intel vPro, and Intel TXT, making it a secure and virtualization-friendly option. It also supports AVX, AVX2, and AES-NI, providing solid performance for encryption and scientific computing.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E5-2640 v4 remains relevant in low-power, cost-sensitive server environments where its balance of core count, memory support, and TDP of 90 W make it a practical choice. While it cannot compete with modern high-core-count CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO or Xeon Scalable series in raw performance, its multicore strength and enterprise features continue to make it a viable option for legacy server systems and workloads that benefit from its architecture.
