SKU CH-QFXV-6A5T5 MPN 46W2721

Twelve-core Xeon server processor running at 2.7 GHz with 30 MB cache, DDR3-1866 memory controller and 130 W TDP

  • Integrated Memory Controller SpeedDDR3 1866
  • 12 cores handle heavy parallel workloads
  • 30 MB smart cache reduces memory latency
  • DDR3-1866 controller supports high-speed memory
  • 130 W TDP fits dense server deployments

Refurbished 12-core Xeon server processor

The IBM 46W2721 is a refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 with twelve cores running at 2.7 GHz. It provides 30 MB of Smart Cache and a 130 W TDP for dual-socket server boards using the FCLGA2011 socket. The integrated memory controller supports DDR3 at 1866 MT/s.

Upgrade from lower-core-count Xeon E5 v2 CPUs

Replacing a 4-core, 6-core or 8-core v2 part with this 12-core model adds parallel throughput for virtualisation, database or rendering workloads. The jump is worthwhile when the application scales across many threads and the platform already supplies DDR3 memory and adequate cooling for 130 W.

Highlights

  • 12 cores handle heavy parallel workloads
  • 30 MB smart cache reduces memory latency
  • DDR3-1866 controller supports high-speed memory
  • 130 W TDP fits dense server deployments

Questions about this item

Does this processor fit an FCLGA2011 socket?

Yes, it is built for the FCLGA2011 socket and has a 130 W TDP, so the motherboard and cooler must support that power level.

What is a common installation mistake with this CPU?

Not seating the processor evenly in the FCLGA2011 socket before closing the retention lever, which can bend pins and prevent the system from posting.
