Server Processor for Enterprise Workloads

This IBM 46W2850 server processor integrates an Intel Xeon E5-2650L v2 with 10 cores and 20 threads running at 1.7 GHz. A 25 MB L3 cache and 7.2 GT/s QPI link support multi-socket scalability. The 70 W thermal design power and DDR3 1866 memory controller suit density-optimised racks.

Suited for Scale-Out and Virtualisation

The 10-core design handles parallel workloads such as virtualisation hosts, cloud nodes and HPC clusters where core count matters more than peak frequency. The 70 W envelope eases cooling in packed chassis. Buyers needing higher single-thread speed or a newer DDR generation should evaluate other options.

TDP and Cooling Requirement

This part carries a 70 W TDP and ships as a bare processor without a heatsink or fan. The platform must provide a qualified server-grade cooler rated for at least 70 W dissipation. Omission of adequate cooling will cause thermal throttling or shutdown.

Questions about this item

What socket and power budget does the 46W2850 Xeon require for mounting?

The processor has a 70W thermal design power and the cooling device is not included, so the cooler and chassis must handle that heat load.

Which step is often missed when installing this bare 10-core 25MB cache processor?

Because it ships as a bare processor only, the separate heatsink and fan must be mounted and thermal paste applied before powering on the server.

What ongoing maintenance does the 1.7GHz 20-thread Xeon need?

Periodically clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan, verify the fan spins freely, and replace the thermal paste every few years to maintain the 70W thermal envelope.
