Intel Xeon E5 v3 Processors

Key takeaways

  • 2,237 listings match this collection right now.
  • E5 v4, the Broadwell refresh, drops into the same LGA2011-3 socket with a firmware update and runs memory at DDR4-2400 where v3 tops out at DDR4-2133.
  • Haswell moved this line to DDR4, so a v3 upgrade means new memory as well as a new processor, and the DDR3 modules from a v2 board do not carry over.
  • The top v3 part reaches 18 cores per socket, up from 12 cores on the top v2 part, the step up in core density that came with the Haswell generation.

Xeon E5 v3 is the Haswell generation that introduced socket LGA2011-3 and DDR4 memory to two-socket servers. It is the launch processor of Dell PowerEdge 13G and HPE ProLiant Gen9, and it shares its socket with E5 v4.

How to choose server processors

The socket has to match the board before anything else matters, and multi-socket systems must be populated with identical processor models. Xeon Scalable tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) differ in core count, socket support and memory speed; the older E5 line is split by version (v2 on LGA2011, v3 and v4 on LGA2011-3). Processors ship as the bare part: heatsinks and carriers are platform specific and ordered separately.
