Front view of Intel Xeon E5-2620

Reasons to consider the
Intel Xeon E5-2620

Report a correction
Much newer manufacturing process 32 nm vs 90 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Much more l2 cache 2 MB vs 0.25 MB 8x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Supports dynamic frequency scaling Yes vs No Somewhat common; Allows for maximum performance when needed, while conserving power and minimizing heat production when not needed
Has virtualization support Yes vs No Somewhat common; Boosts performance of virtual machines
More cores 6 vs 1 5 more cores; run more applications at once
More threads 12 vs 1 11 more threads
Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration 2 vs 1 Twice as many CPUs in SMP configuration
Newer Mar, 2012 vs Apr, 2004 Release date over 8 years later
Supports trusted computing Yes vs No Somewhat common; Allows for safer, more reliable computing
Higher Maximum operating temperature 77.4 °C vs 67.7 °C Around 15% higher Maximum operating temperature
More l2 cache per core 0.33 MB/core vs 0.25 MB/core Around 35% more l2 cache per core
