Description
L3 Cache and QPI
L3 cache is a type of memory that acts as a buffer for frequently used data. It is located on the processor itself and is separate from the main memory (RAM) of the system. L3 cache is used to improve the overall performance of the system by allowing the processor to quickly access frequently used data without having to retrieve it from main memory. This can improve the responsiveness of the system and reduce the time required to complete certain tasks.
The BX80635E52620V2 processor has 15MB of L3 cache, which is a significant amount of cache memory. This large amount of cache can help to improve the performance of the processor, especially when running demanding workloads or multitasking.
QPI or Quick Path Interconnect is a high-speed interconnect technology developed by Intel. It allows the processor to communicate with other components in the system, such as memory and storage, at much higher speeds than traditional interconnect technologies. This high-speed communication can help to improve the overall performance of the system by reducing the time required to transfer data between the processor and other components.
The BX80635E52620V2 processor has a QPI speed of 7.2 GT/s, which is among the highest speeds available for processors. This high QPI speed allows for fast communication between the processor and other components in the system, which can help to improve the overall performance of the system and make it more responsive.
Comparison to Other Xeon Processors
The BX80635E52620V2 processor is part of the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 family of processors and can be compared to other processors within this family. These processors are designed for use in servers and workstations, and offer similar features such as support for ECC memory, virtualization, and advanced security features.
Compared to other processors in the E5-2600 v2 family, the BX80635E52620V2 has a relatively lower base clock speed of 2.1GHz, but it has a higher turbo frequency of 3.2GHz. It also has 15MB of L3 cache and a QPI speed of 7.2 GT/s.
The BX80635E52620V2 processor can be compared to other processors with similar specifications, such as the BX80635E52640V2, which has a base clock speed of 2.0GHz, a turbo frequency of 3.4GHz, and 30MB of L3 cache. This processor is intended for more demanding and powerful workloads.
Another processor to compare with is the BX80635E52630V2, which has a base clock speed of 2.6GHz, a turbo frequency of 3.5GHz, and 20MB of L3 cache. This processor is intended for more power-efficient workloads.
