About This Product
Overview
The Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4 is a server and workstation processor built for the LGA2011-3 platform, offering 12 cores and 24 threads for demanding multi-threaded workloads. Its 3.00GHz base clock and 3.50GHz turbo clock make it a practical choice for systems that need balanced compute performance across a range of professional tasks. With 30MB of Smart Cache, this CPU is designed to help support responsive operation in environments where efficient data access matters. It is compatible with select Dell and HPE systems, including Dell T7910, Dell R730, and HPE Gen9 servers, making it a useful replacement or upgrade option for supported platforms. For IT teams, resellers, and system builders working with enterprise hardware, this processor fits well into deployments that require dependable Intel Xeon architecture and broad platform compatibility.
Performance & Scalability
With 12 physical cores and 24 threads, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 is suited to workloads that benefit from parallel processing, including virtualization, application hosting, and other multi-user server tasks. The 160W TDP reflects a high-performance design, while support for DDR4-2400 memory and PCIe 3.0 helps the processor integrate into systems built around modern server components for its generation. In compatible platforms, this CPU can support scalable configurations where memory bandwidth and expansion capability are important. Its turbo frequency provides additional headroom when workloads need higher burst performance, while the base frequency helps deliver consistent operation under sustained use. For organizations maintaining existing infrastructure, this processor can be a straightforward way to extend the life of supported Dell and HPE systems without changing the overall platform.
Storage Flexibility
Although this is a processor rather than a storage device, its PCIe 3.0 support plays an important role in overall system flexibility by enabling compatible expansion cards and storage controllers to operate within the platform’s capabilities. In server and workstation builds, that can help support a variety of storage configurations when paired with the right motherboard, backplane, and controller hardware. The Xeon E5-2687W v4 is therefore a strong fit for systems that need to coordinate compute performance with storage access across virtual machines, databases, or file services. When used in supported Dell T7910, R730, or HPE Gen9 environments, it can help maintain a stable foundation for storage-heavy workloads that rely on the broader system architecture.
Why Choose This Product?
This processor is a practical choice for buyers who need a compatible Intel Xeon CPU for established enterprise platforms. It combines a high core count, strong thread support, and a well-known LGA2011-3 socket design, making it suitable for replacement, refurbishment, and upgrade projects. The listed support for DDR4-2400 memory and PCIe 3.0 adds to its value in systems that require dependable component compatibility. For resellers and IT departments, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 offers a clear path to keeping supported hardware in service with a processor that matches the needs of demanding business environments. Its compatibility with specific Dell and HPE systems also makes it easier to source the right CPU for targeted deployments and repairs.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
