The Intel Xeon E7-8893 v4 was a high-end server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in Q2 2016. It is part of the Xeon E7 v4 lineup, using the Broadwell-EX architecture with Socket LGA2011-1. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads. To further increase overall system performance, up to eight Xeon E7-8893 v4 CPUs can work together in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon E7-8893 v4 has a massive 60 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.2 GHz. Intel is building the Xeon E7-8893 v4 on a 14 nm production process using 4.72 billion transistors. The multiplier is locked on Xeon E7-8893 v4, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 140 W, the Xeon E7-8893 v4 requires robust cooling solutions. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a quad-channel interface running at 1866 MHz. ECC memory is supported, which is critical for enterprise-level systems to ensure data integrity. For communication with other components in the system, Xeon E7-8893 v4 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required. Hardware virtualization (VT-x) is fully supported on the Xeon E7-8893 v4, significantly enhancing virtual machine performance. The processor also features advanced reliability technologies including Intel Run Sure Technology for mission-critical applications.
