Need a server brain that can handle heavy workloads without slowing down? The HPE Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 is built for demanding environments. It gives you the power to run virtual machines, big data jobs, and complex calculations. If your current processor stalls during peak traffic, this chip will keep your services fast and reliable.
HPE Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4, LGA 2011-v3, 14 nm, 2.3 GHz, 64-bit
This processor solves the problem of limited compute capacity in servers and workstations. When applications need more cores and faster memory access, performance drops and users become frustrated. The Xeon E5-2697 v4 adds 18 cores, 36 threads, and a large 45 MB Smart Cache, giving you the headroom to run many tasks at once. It delivers consistent speed, lower latency, and efficient power use, so your system stays responsive even under heavy load.
Benefits
- More cores let you run many virtual machines without slowdown.
- High memory bandwidth speeds up data-intensive applications.
- Built-in security features protect your server from attacks.
- Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz handles short bursts of heavy work.
- Low idle power saves energy when the server is not busy.
Usages
Use this Xeon processor in rack servers that host cloud services, in blade systems for virtual desktop infrastructure, or in high-performance workstations for engineering simulation. It is ideal for database servers that need fast transaction processing, for analytics platforms that crunch large data sets, and for rendering farms that require many parallel threads. The chip fits any LGA 2011-v3 socket board that supports the XL450 GEN9 platform.
