Intel Xeon E5 v2 Processors

Key takeaways

• 2,066 listings match this collection right now.
• The top v2 part reaches 12 cores per socket, up from 8 cores on the original E5-2600 (v1) part, the core-count jump that came with the Ivy Bridge die shrink.
• Thermal design power reaches 130 watts at the top of the v2 stack, so match the part to the heatsink and airflow the chassis was built for.
• E5 v2 shares socket LGA2011 with the original E5-2600 (v1) generation, so a Sandy Bridge-EP board can take a v2 upgrade with only a BIOS update.
