Intel Xeon E5-2696 V4 — Powerful 22-Core Server Processor
Unlock serious multi-threaded computing power with the Intel Xeon E5-2696 V4. Featuring 22 cores and 44 threads, this workstation and server-grade processor delivers exceptional parallel processing performance for virtualization, data analytics, content rendering, and heavy enterprise workloads. Running at a base clock of 2.2GHz on Intel's efficient 14nm architecture, it offers the ideal balance of throughput and energy management at a 150W TDP.
Pulled from a working machine (minor surface scratches possible) and double-tested before shipping — so you get a thoroughly verified, fully functional processor at a fraction of new pricing.
Note: CPUs originate from various manufacturing locations including China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Costa Rica. Performance is identical regardless of origin. Random delivery applies — if origin location matters to you, please take note before purchasing. Made in Mainland China (origin per listing data).
