Intel SR1AB Xeon E5 Series Server High Performance Processor

The Intel Xeon E5-2660 v2 (SR1AB) is a 10-core, 20-thread server-grade processor that delivers balanced multi-core throughput for virtualization, databases, and enterprise applications. It operates at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and includes 25 MB of Intel Smart Cache, packaged in the FCLGA2011 socket with 8 GT/s QPI and a 95 W TDP. Built on the Ivy Bridge-EP 22 nm process, it supports quad-channel DDR3 ECC memory, ECC memory support, and virtualization features (Intel VT-x and VT-d), with PCIe lanes that are platform dependent. This CPU is commonly installed in rack and blade servers powering cloud services, file servers, and compute clusters, and IT administrators often deploy it for performance upgrades, capacity scaling, or replacing aging processors. Common replacements include Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2, E5-2680 v2, and E5-2650 v2.
