Xeon E5-2658 v4 Details

Built on Intel's Broadwell EP microarchitecture and fabricated using a 14 nm process, the Xeon E5-2658 v4 is a server-grade processor designed for embedded and high-performance computing environments. Released in 2016, it represents an older generation of Intel’s Xeon family, now more than seven years old, which places it in the category of legacy enterprise components. Despite its age, the chip remains relevant in certain workloads due to its robust core count and enterprise-grade features. With a base frequency of 2.3 GHz and a turbo frequency reaching 2.8 GHz on a single core, it offers solid single-threaded performance, though its true strength lies in its ability to scale across multiple cores.

The processor features 14 cores and 28 threads, enabled by Intel's Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) technology, allowing it to efficiently handle multithreaded applications such as virtualization, data analytics, and rendering. It supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory, with a maximum bandwidth of 9600 MT/s via a QPI bus operating at 4.8 GHz. Its 35 MiB of L3 cache, along with 3.5 MiB of L2 and 0.438 MiB of L1 cache per core, ensures low-latency access to frequently used data. The chip operates at a 105 W TDP and uses the LGA-2011-3 socket, making it compatible with server motherboards from the Broadwell EP platform.

In terms of supported features, the Xeon E5-2658 v4 includes a comprehensive suite of enterprise technologies such as Intel vPro, Intel Trusted Execution Technology, and Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x and VT-d). It also supports Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2), AES-NI, and Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX), which are crucial for encryption, data compression, and high-performance computing. These features, combined with its dual-socket support and 40 PCIe lanes, make it a strong choice for scalable server deployments.

Benchmark results place the Xeon E5-2658 v4 at an overall score of 5654, ranking #386 out of 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 4950 places it at #968, indicating strong performance per core, while its multicore score of 6711 ranks it #129, reflecting excellent scaling across its 28 threads. In comparison to contemporary CPUs, it outperforms many consumer-grade processors like the Core i7-10700 and Ryzen 7 7700, but falls behind modern high-end chips such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K. Its strongest performance category is multicore, where it ranks among the top tier of older server processors.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E5-2658 v4 is best suited for legacy server environments, embedded systems, or cost-sensitive deployments where high core counts and reliability are prioritized over cutting-edge single-core performance. While it no longer competes with modern flagship processors, its efficiency, ECC memory support, and robust feature set ensure it remains a viable option in enterprise and industrial applications.
