Intel · Xeon E5 · 2013 · LGA1356
The Intel Xeon E5-2420 v2 is a server processor with 6 cores, released in 2013. It is part of the Xeon E5 lineup, using the Xeon E5 platform, and fits the LGA1356 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Ivy Bridge-EN" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. It operates at a fixed 2.2 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Ivy Bridge-EN" silicon on a 22nm process node. This processor supports DDR3 memory across 3 channels, up to 384GB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 24 lanes of PCIe 3.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 80W, the Xeon E5-2420 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.
