IBM Xeon E5-2630L v2 6-Core Server Processor

The IBM 46W4376 is a new Intel Xeon E5-2630L v2 processor built for dual-socket server boards using the LGA 771 interface. It delivers six cores and twelve threads at a 2.4 GHz base frequency for multi-threaded workloads. The part ships as a bare processor without a cooling device or retail packaging. It is intended for server deployments only and is not compatible with IBM home computers.

Thermals and Power Envelope

Thermal design power is rated at 60 watts, matching the average CPU power figure supplied by Intel. A 7.2 GT/s QPI link connects the processor to the rest of the system without increasing the thermal envelope. No cooler is included so the builder must provide a solution rated for this power level. The 60 W rating keeps heat output predictable in dense rack environments.

15 MB L3 Cache for Data-Intensive Tasks

The 15 MB shared L3 cache is the specification that most directly determines fit for memory-heavy applications such as virtualization hosts or database nodes. Six cores with Hyper-Threading support twelve concurrent threads within that cache pool. Buyers who need a larger cache per core or higher single-thread frequency should evaluate other options.

Questions about this item

How is the LGA 771 processor seated and what step is often missed?

Align the notches on the 6-core chip with the socket keys, lower it straight down without forcing, then close the load plate and engage the lever; the step often missed is applying fresh thermal compound before mounting the heatsink because no cooling device is included.

What maintenance will the E5-2630L v2 need over time?

The 60 W thermal design power means the heatsink fins and fan should be cleaned of dust every few months and the thermal paste replaced every two to three years to keep the 2.4 GHz base and turbo frequencies stable.

What limit appears first when all 12 threads run sustained loads?

The 60 W average CPU power envelope is reached before the 7.2 GT/s QPI link saturates, so the processor will throttle frequency to stay within its thermal budget.
