The Intel Xeon E3-1240 v6 was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in January 2017. It is part of the Xeon lineup, using the Kaby Lake architecture with Socket 1151. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads. Xeon E3-1240 v6 has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.7 GHz by default, with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.1 GHz depending on workload conditions. Intel manufactured the Xeon E3-1240 v6 on an advanced 14nm++ production process, delivering improved power efficiency and performance. With a TDP of 72 W, this processor offers excellent power efficiency for its class. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface, running at speeds up to 2400 MHz. ECC memory is supported, which is crucial for mission-critical applications to prevent data corruption. For communication with other system components, the Xeon E3-1240 v6 utilizes a PCI-Express 3.0 connection. This processor does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output. Hardware virtualization (VT-x) is fully supported on the Xeon E3-1240 v6, significantly enhancing virtual machine performance. The processor also features Intel's advanced instruction sets including SSE4.1/4.2, AVX 2.0, and AES-NI for accelerated cryptographic operations. The locked multiplier limits overclocking potential, but the processor includes Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 for dynamic performance adjustments.
