Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 12,404 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 1,976 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

It uses socket LGA2011-3. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.

Memory and power

Recorded memory support: DDR4-1600. The 90 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions

What are the key Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 @ 2.40GHz specifications?

The main recorded details are 10 cores and 20 threads, up to 3.40 GHz turbo, a 90 W reference TDP, a 12,404 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.
