Xeon E5-2687W 0 Details

Built on Intel's 32 nm process, the Xeon E5-2687W 0 represents a high-end server-grade processor from the early 2010s, designed for demanding workloads in data centers and professional environments. Despite being over a decade old, it remains a capable multi-threaded solution due to its 8-core, 16-thread configuration enabled by Hyper-Threading technology. The processor operates at a base frequency of 3.1 GHz, with a turbo boost up to 3.8 GHz, providing performance that was competitive in its era, especially in applications that benefit from wide thread counts.

The Xeon E5-2687W 0 is built on the Westmere-EX microarchitecture and uses the FCLGA2011 socket, which was common in high-performance Xeon systems of that time. It supports up to 256 GB of DDR3 memory across four channels, with memory speeds up to 1600 MHz, delivering a theoretical memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The 150 W TDP reflects its power consumption and thermal design, making it suitable for well-cooled server racks but less ideal for energy-conscious setups.

In terms of integrated graphics, the processor includes Intel HD Graphics 5600, capable of driving up to three displays with a maximum frequency of 1050 MHz and a base frequency of 300 MHz. While not intended for gaming or high-end graphics, this GPU is sufficient for basic display output and light multimedia tasks in server environments. The processor also supports advanced features such as AES-NI, AVX2, and Intel VT-x, along with ECC memory support, which are critical for enterprise reliability and data integrity.

Benchmark data reveals the Xeon E5-2687W 0 achieving an overall score of 5770, placing it at #332 among 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 5395 ranks it at #648, indicating relatively strong performance per core, while its multicore score of 6333 positions it at #177, highlighting its strengths in multi-threaded applications. These scores place it above many modern consumer processors in multi-threaded performance, although it trails behind the top-tier CPUs listed in the top 50 multicore rankings.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E5-2687W 0 is best suited for legacy systems, low-budget server deployments, or specialized workloads where its multicore performance and ECC support are valuable. While outpaced by modern processors in single-core efficiency and power efficiency, it remains a viable option for specific professional applications where cost and compatibility with older hardware are key considerations.
