Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 14 Cores 28 Threads 3.2GHz R (LGA 2011) CM8066002031201 Server CPU

Dual-Socket Datacenter CPU platform for balanced virtualization density with Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 (CM8066002031201)

The Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 is a Broadwell-EP, 14nm server processor designed for LGA2011-3 platforms where predictable throughput, mature DDR4 ecosystems, and PCIe 3.0 expansion are required. In legacy 2-socket enterprise servers, the Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 supports consolidation of mixed workloads by combining 14 cores and 28 threads with a large 35MB L3 cache and a 105W power envelope suited to standard rack thermal profiles.

Built for DDR4 ECC memory up to 2400 MT/s, the Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 fits scale-up nodes that prioritize memory capacity and reliability for databases and infrastructure services. With 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes provided by the CPU, the platform enables dense I/O designs such as multi-port NICs, Fibre Channel or SAS HBAs, and accelerator-adjacent configurations without oversubscribing critical slots. Storage architectures benefit from consistent PCIe bandwidth for NVMe add-in cards or controller-based SAS/SATA backplanes, aligning the Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 with virtualization hosts, web/app tiers, and shared services where deterministic latency matters.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon E5-2660V4?

The Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 delivers a practical density-to-performance ratio for existing LGA2011-3 fleets, enabling cost-controlled scaling in dual-socket nodes while preserving enterprise features for reliability and manageability. Its architectural balance across cores, cache, memory support, and PCIe connectivity makes the Intel Xeon E5-2660V4 a stable foundation for standardized server builds and predictable capacity planning.

Intel designs Broadwell-EP Xeon processors to meet datacenter operational requirements, combining validated platform compatibility with hardware-assisted virtualization and security capabilities such as VT-x, VT-d, AES-NI, TXT, and Execute Disable Bit (XD) to support controlled multi-tenant environments.
