Intel · Xeon E5 · 2013 · LGA2011
The Intel Xeon E5-1660 v2 is a server processor with 6 cores, released in 2013 at an MSRP of $1,080. It is part of the Xeon E5 lineup, using the Xeon E5 platform, and fits the LGA2011 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Ivy Bridge-E" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon E5-1660 v2 has a base clock of 3.7 GHz and can boost up to 4 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Ivy Bridge-E" silicon on a 22nm process node. This processor supports DDR3 memory across 4 channels, up to 64GB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 40 lanes of PCIe 3.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 130W, the Xeon E5-1660 v2 sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 15MB of L3 cache.
3rd Gen Xeon E5 refresh on LGA2011, offering higher clocks over Sandy Bridge-E at the same core counts.
