# Intel Xeon E5-4640 Server CPU: Intel Dem still dey call am intel xeon e5-4640, xeon e5-4640, e5-4640, xeon-e5-4640 Intel, Server CPU, Sandy Bridge Intel Xeon E5-4640 na Intel processor wey get 8 CPU cores and 16 threads. ## Wetin you need know Intel Xeon E5-4640 na Intel processor wey get 8 CPU cores and 16 threads. Reference specifications wey dem record no be tested performance or operating-system compatibility verdict. Verify di exact model and platform wit di manufacturer. ## Specifications Numbers wey dey below follow di Feex Hardware Database record for dis SKU. Fields wey no get recorded value dey omitted. ### Processor | Manufacturer | Intel | | --------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Family | Xeon E5 | | Architecture | Sandy Bridge | | Codename | Sandy Bridge EP | | Generation | Intel Xeon Processor E5 Family | | Manufacturing process | 32 nm | | Segment | Server | ### Cores and threads | CPU cores | 8 | | --------- | -- | | Threads | 16 | ### Clock speeds | Base frequency | 2.4 GHz | | ----------------------- | ------- | | Maximum turbo frequency | 2.8 GHz | ### Cache | L3 cache | 20 MB | | -------- | ----- | ### Memory | Supported types | DDR3 | | --------------- | ------ | | Maximum memory | 384 GB | | Memory channels | 4 | ### Package and power | Socket | FCLGA2011 | | -------------------- | ---------------------- | | Processor base power | 95 W | | PCIe | Revision 3.0, 40 lanes | ### Market Dem launch Intel Xeon E5-4640 on April 1, 2012 at USD 2725 (suggested price at launch). | Launch date | April 1, 2012 | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | MSRP wey dem launch am | USD 2725 (suggested price at launch) | | Model | E5-4640 | ### Features Intel Xeon E5-4640 record 2 instruction sets for dis sheet. | Instruction sets | [AVX](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/hardware/system/avx/), [64-bit (x86-64)](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/hardware/system/x86-64/) | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Virtualization | [Extended Page Tables (EPT)](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/hardware/system/ept/), [VT-d (DMA Remapping)](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/hardware/system/vt-d/), [VT-x (Hardware Virtualization)](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/hardware/system/vt-x/) | ## Compatibility | Socket | FCLGA2011 | | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Board | Shared socket no mean automatic compatibility. Check di motherboard CPU list and BIOS revision. | | Memory | DDR3, up to 384 GB | Shared socket no mean automatic compatibility. Boards dey often need BIOS update before newer chip wey dey di same socket go fit post. Cooler clearance, VRM quality, and power limits matter just like di socket name. Read di memory list on di board. Di CPU fit list more standards pass wetin one motherboard go accept. CPU wey no get integrated graphics no need discrete graphics card every time. Some server motherboards dey provide separate management graphics controller. Check di motherboard and CPU documentation. ## Manufacturer-checked specifications ### Intel Xeon E5-4640 Dem check these fields against Intel's model-specific reference on 2026-10-29.
