Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4 12 Cores 24 Threads 3.5GHz R (LGA 2011) BX80660E52687V4 Server CPU

High-Performance Dual-Socket Server CPU Platform featuring Broadwell-EP compute density with the Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4

The Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4 (SKU BX80660E52687V4) is a Broadwell-EP processor for LGA2011-3 (Socket R) servers designed for dual-socket configurations where sustained clock speed and predictable latency are critical. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it delivers strong per-core throughput while maintaining the scheduling headroom required for mixed enterprise workloads and consolidation on mature DDR4 platforms.

In 2-socket systems, the Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4 enables balanced CPU-to-I/O mapping through PCIe 3.0 expansion with up to 40 lanes per CPU, supporting high-bandwidth NICs, HBAs, and accelerator-class add-in cards without oversubscription. Memory scalability up to 1.5 TB with ECC support aligns the platform to virtualization, in-memory services, and database tiers that demand capacity, integrity, and stable NUMA behavior. Hardware virtualization features (VT-x, VT-d) and security capabilities such as AES-NI and TXT support secure multi-tenant deployments and efficient encryption paths.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4?

The Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4 is engineered for enterprise environments that need high base frequency in a 2-socket footprint, delivering an effective density-to-performance ratio for virtualization hosts and compute nodes on established LGA2011-3 infrastructure. It provides a practical upgrade path for PCIe 3.0 lane-hungry configurations while preserving operational consistency across validated DDR4 server platforms.

Intel designs its Xeon portfolio with a focus on platform stability, long lifecycle support, and predictable behavior under continuous load. This aligns with data centre requirements for standardized firmware ecosystems, ECC memory reliability, and hardware-assisted security that can be integrated into existing governance and compliance models.

Key Applications:

• Virtualization hosts with high base-clock requirements
• General-purpose compute nodes on DDR4 platforms
• Legacy LGA2011-3 platform refresh and consolidation
• PCIe 3.0 expansion for NIC/HBA-heavy server builds
• Encrypted services and secure multi-tenant workloads
