The Intel Xeon E5-1607 was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in March 2012. It is part of the Xeon lineup, using the Sandy Bridge-EP architecture with Socket LGA2011. The Xeon E5-1607 operates at a base frequency of 3.0 GHz and features 10 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel manufactured the Xeon E5-1607 on a 32 nm production process. The multiplier is locked on this processor, which restricts its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 130 W, the Xeon E5-1607 requires robust cooling solutions to maintain optimal performance. This processor supports DDR3 memory with a quad-channel interface, operating at speeds up to 1066 MHz. ECC memory is also supported, providing enhanced reliability for mission-critical applications. For system communication, the Xeon E5-1607 utilizes a PCI-Express 3.0 connection. This processor does not include integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is necessary for display output. Hardware virtualization technology is supported on the Xeon E5-1607, improving efficiency and performance in virtualized environments.
