Description
The Cisco UCS-CPU-E5-2690 is a high-performance server processor designed for enterprise-grade workloads within Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) environments. Built on Intel’s Xeon E5-2600 series architecture, this 8-core, 16-thread CPU operates at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and can turbo boost up to 3.8 GHz, offering robust computational power for virtualization, cloud applications, and data-intensive tasks. With a 20MB Intel Smart Cache and support for quad-channel DDR3 memory, it delivers efficient data throughput and rapid access to frequently used instructions. Its 135W thermal design power (TDP) ensures a balance between performance and energy efficiency in demanding data center operations.
This processor is compatible with dual-socket configurations, allowing scalability for multi-threaded applications and supporting up to 768GB of memory when paired with the appropriate UCS server platform. Integrated technologies such as Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, and Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) enhance processing capabilities and improve parallel computing performance. The UCS-CPU-E5-2690 is ideal for IT professionals seeking a cost-effective upgrade or replacement for existing Cisco UCS infrastructure. Whether deployed in rack or blade servers, it offers a reliable solution for extending the lifecycle of used network hardware without compromising on speed or reliability.
