Xeon E5-2680 v4 Details

The Xeon E5-2680 v4 stands as a powerful server-grade processor from Intel, released in 2016 as part of the Broadwell EP lineup. While now over seven years old, it remains a compelling option for legacy systems and workloads requiring high core counts and reliable performance. Built on a 14 nm process and based on the Broadwell microarchitecture, the chip delivers a solid balance of multi-threaded performance and power efficiency, especially considering its age. With a base clock of 2.4 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.3 GHz on a single core, the processor is designed for sustained workloads rather than burst performance, making it ideal for enterprise environments such as virtualization, data processing, and scientific computing.

The processor features 14 cores and 28 threads, enabled by Intel’s Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) technology, allowing it to efficiently handle concurrent tasks. It includes a substantial 35 MiB of L3 cache, which helps reduce memory latency and supports data-intensive applications. The chip operates at a TDP of 120 W, making it suitable for well-cooled server environments, and it supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory across four channels, with a maximum bandwidth of 96 GB/s. The Xeon E5-2680 v4 uses the LGA-2011-3 socket and communicates via QPI at 4.8 GT/s, supporting dual-socket configurations for even greater scalability.

In terms of features, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 supports a comprehensive set of Intel technologies, including AVX-2, AES-NI, and Intel vPro for enhanced security and remote management. It also supports ECC memory, which is essential for server environments where data integrity is critical. The processor includes full virtualization support via VT-x and VT-d, along with Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0 for dynamic frequency scaling based on workload demands.

Benchmark results show the Xeon E5-2680 v4 with an Overall Score of 5278, placing it at #636 among 2060 processors. Its Multicore Score of 5573 ranks it at #367, indicating strong performance in multi-threaded applications, particularly when compared to its contemporaries like the Xeon E5-1680 v4 and Xeon E-2236. However, its Singlecore Score of 5081 places it at #889, reflecting its weaker single-threaded performance relative to modern consumer and workstation CPUs. This disparity highlights that the Xeon E5-2680 v4 excels in parallel workloads but lags behind newer processors in tasks that rely heavily on single-core speed.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 is no longer a competitive option for new builds but still holds relevance in legacy server systems and cost-sensitive environments where multi-core throughput is prioritized over raw single-threaded performance. Its longevity is a testament to Intel’s design philosophy for server processors, where stability and scalability often outweigh the latest performance gains. For users maintaining older systems or needing to upgrade without a full platform shift, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 remains a viable, albeit dated, solution.
