Xeon E5-2687W v2 Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 remains a notable server processor, despite being released in September 2013. Its single-core performance of 5180 places it at #823 in the single-core ranking, a result that is surprisingly competitive for a processor nearly a decade old, especially when compared to modern consumer-grade CPUs. While its multicore score of 5125 ranks it at #553 overall, the performance gap between its single-core and multicore capabilities highlights a design optimized for high-frequency workloads rather than sustained parallel processing. This processor, built on Intel's Ivy Bridge-EP architecture at 22 nm, features 8 cores and 16 threads thanks to Hyper-Threading, delivering a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a turbo boost up to 4.0 GHz.

With 20 MB of L3 cache and support for quad-channel DDR3 memory, it offers substantial data throughput, though its 130 W TDP demands robust cooling solutions. The lack of integrated graphics necessitates a discrete GPU for any display output, aligning it with server and workstation environments where dedicated graphics are standard. It supports advanced virtualization technologies like VT-x and VT-d, making it suitable for virtualized data center deployments. ECC memory support further enhances its reliability in mission-critical applications.

While its performance now lags significantly behind current top-tier CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K, the Xeon E5-2687W v2 still holds relevance in legacy systems and cost-sensitive server environments where its combination of clock speed, memory bandwidth, and virtualization features provides a solid foundation. For users requiring high single-threaded performance in a multi-socket configuration, this processor remains a viable option, albeit one constrained by its age and power consumption.
