Socket LGA 2011 server processor

The Lenovo Xeon E5-2630 v2 is a six-core server processor running at 2.6 GHz with 15 MB L3 cache and an 80 W thermal design power. It fits the LGA 2011 socket and uses a 22 nm manufacturing process. This component is intended as a processor upgrade for compatible server platforms.

Suited for capacity-focused server upgrades

This processor suits administrators adding cores to existing LGA 2011 systems where the 80 W power envelope and 2.6 GHz clock match the thermal and performance budget. Buyers needing higher core counts, higher frequencies, or a different socket should look at other parts because this unit is fixed at six cores and this specific interface.

Six cores and 15 MB L3 cache decide fit

The hexa-core design with 15 MB L3 cache is the primary specification that determines whether this processor matches the workload and motherboard requirements. Verify the LGA 2011 socket and 80 W TDP compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 80 W Xeon E5-2630 v2 generate under continuous load?

The thermal design power is 80 W, so sustained full-load heat output will be at or near that figure; adequate server airflow is required to keep temperatures in check.

What motherboard socket must I already have for this processor?

The CPU fits an LGA 2011 socket, so the board must provide that socket and a compatible Xeon E5-2600 v2 chipset.

Can the 2.6 GHz hexa-core E5-2630 v2 run in a dual-processor server with an older Xeon?

Dual-socket operation requires two identical processors with matching QPI speed; the 7.20 GT/s link on this chip will not pair with earlier models that use a different QPI rate.
