Description
Product overview of the HPE 818166-B21
The 818166-B21 HPE Intel Xeon E5-2650LV4 processor is a high-performance, server-grade processor designed for use in data centers and other enterprise computing environments. This processor features 14 cores, a base clock speed of 1.7GHz, and 35MB of L3 cache. It is compatible with the Socket FCLGA2011 and has a thermal design power of 65 watts. In this article, we will explore the features and capabilities of this processor and discuss how it can benefit enterprise computing environments.
Processor Architecture
The HPE Intel Xeon E5-2650LV4 processor is based on the Broadwell microarchitecture, which is the fifth generation of Intel’s Core processor family. The Broadwell architecture was designed to provide improved performance and energy efficiency compared to previous generations of processors. The E5-2650LV4 is built on a 14nm manufacturing process, which allows for more transistors to be packed into a smaller area, resulting in increased performance and power efficiency.
Core Count and Clock Speed
The processor has 14 physical cores, which can execute up to 28 threads simultaneously with Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology. This allows for greater parallelism and improved performance in applications that can take advantage of multiple cores. The base clock speed of the E5-2650LV4 is 1.7GHz, which can be boosted up to 2.2GHz with Intel’s Turbo Boost technology. Turbo Boost dynamically increases the clock speed of the processor when it is operating below its maximum temperature and power limits, allowing for improved performance in short bursts.
Cache Size
The processor has a large 35MB L3 cache, which is shared among all 14 cores. Cache is a type of high-speed memory that stores frequently accessed data for quick access by the processor. The larger the cache size, the more data can be stored, and the faster the processor can access it. The L3 cache is shared among all cores, which allows for better cache utilization and improved performance.
Thermal Design Power
The E5-2650LV4 has a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 watts. TDP is a measure of the maximum amount of heat generated by the processor when operating at its base clock speed under normal operating conditions. A lower TDP means that the processor generates less heat and requires less cooling, which can result in lower energy costs and quieter operation.
Compatibility
The E5-2650LV4 is compatible with the Socket FCLGA2011, which is a socket commonly used in enterprise computing environments. The socket supports Intel’s QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology, which provides high-speed communication between the processor and other components in the system, such as memory and peripheral devices. QPI operates at a speed of 9.6GT/s, which allows for fast and efficient data transfer.
Complete Kit
The E5-2650LV4 is available as a complete kit, which includes the processor, a heatsink, and installation instructions. The heatsink is designed to fit the Socket FCLGA2011 and is optimized for the thermal characteristics of the processor. Proper installation of the heatsink is essential for optimal performance and reliability of the processor.
Applications
The HPE Intel Xeon E5-2650LV4 processor is designed for use in data center and other enterprise computing environments that require high-performance computing capabilities. It is ideal for applications such as virtualization, database management, and high-performance computing (HPC). The large number of cores and high cache size make it well-suited for parallel processing and other compute-intensive applications.
