About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 is a server-class processor designed for systems that need dependable multi-core performance and broad platform compatibility. With 14 cores and 28 threads, it is well suited to workloads that benefit from parallel processing, including virtualization, multitasking, and general server operations. Its LGA2011-3 socket support makes it a practical choice for compatible enterprise and workstation motherboards, while the 35MB Smart Cache helps support efficient data access during sustained workloads. As part of the Xeon family, this CPU is aimed at environments where stability, consistent throughput, and compatibility with server hardware are important considerations.
Performance & Scalability
With a base clock of 2.40GHz and a turbo clock up to 3.30GHz, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 balances core count with responsive processing for a wide range of compute tasks. The 120W TDP reflects a processor built for higher-performance systems, and DDR4-2400 memory support helps align it with modern server memory configurations. PCIe 3.0 support also provides a flexible foundation for expansion cards and storage controllers in compatible builds. For organizations or users looking to extend the life of an existing LGA2011-3 platform, this processor offers a strong option for scaling CPU resources without changing the core platform architecture.
Storage Flexibility
Although this product is a CPU rather than a storage device, its PCIe 3.0 support can contribute to a more flexible system design when paired with compatible storage controllers, adapters, and expansion hardware. In server and workstation environments, that flexibility can be useful when building around SSDs, RAID solutions, or other performance-oriented storage setups. Combined with DDR4-2400 memory support, the processor helps create a balanced platform that can support data-heavy tasks and efficient system responsiveness. This makes it a suitable component for builds where storage performance is influenced by the broader platform capabilities.
Why Choose This Product?
The Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 is a solid choice for buyers seeking a proven server CPU with a strong core count, broad compatibility, and enterprise-focused features. It is especially relevant for users maintaining or upgrading systems built around the LGA2011-3 socket, where replacing or expanding processing capability can improve overall workload handling. The combination of 14 cores, 28 threads, DDR4-2400 support, and PCIe 3.0 compatibility makes it a versatile option for virtualization hosts, application servers, and workstation builds that need reliable multi-threaded performance. For IT hardware resellers and system builders, it represents a practical component for compatible platforms.
About this processor
Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4, a 14 core, 28 thread LGA2011-3 processor at 2.40GHz with 3.30GHz turbo, 35MB cache and DDR4-2400 support, refurbished. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The Xeon E5-2680 v4 is the fourteen core part that anchored the upper middle of Intel's E5 v4 range for the LGA2011-3 socket. A 2.40GHz base and 3.30GHz turbo across 14 cores and 28 threads, 35MB of cache, DDR4-2400 support and a 120W rating give it a strong balance of core count and clock, which is why it appears in so many 13th generation Dell and HPE Gen9 virtualisation hosts.
Buyers in Qatar fit refurbished 2680 v4 pairs to R630, R730 and HPE Gen9 class servers for 28 cores per box, or replace a v3 pair to gain cores and 2400 MT/s memory in the same chassis. ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock and fits it to its own assembled R630 servers.

It is the processor ServerDove fits to its own assembled R630 servers, so a buyer who owns one can add a matching part from the same stock.
For a hypervisor, 28 threads per socket with the full 2400 MT/s memory speed of the v4 generation is a good ratio, and the clock is high enough that database and application servers do not suffer for the core count. It is the processor to choose over the 2695 v4 when clock matters more than the last four cores, and over the 2620 v4 when the workload needs more than eight.
Installation
A v4 processor needs a v4 capable BIOS, released for most 13th generation servers during 2016; update before fitting. Fit two identical 2680 v4 processors for a dual socket server, clean and re-paste the heatsinks and torque the retention screws evenly. Confirm after boot that memory trains at 2400 MT/s if the DIMMs are rated for it, which is the main benefit of moving from a v3 part.
