The Intel Xeon E5-2637 v4 was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in Q1 2016. It is part of the Xeon E5 lineup, using the Broadwell-EP architecture with Socket LGA2011-3. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Xeon E5-2637 v4 CPUs can work together in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon E5-2637 v4 has 15 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.5 GHz base frequency, with Turbo Boost technology allowing higher clock speeds depending on workload. Intel manufactured the Xeon E5-2637 v4 on a 14 nm production process. The multiplier is locked on Xeon E5-2637 v4, which limits its overclocking potential. With a TDP of 135 W, the Xeon E5-2637 v4 requires substantial power and adequate cooling solutions. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a quad-channel interface at speeds up to 2400 MHz. ECC memory is supported, which is crucial for mission-critical systems to prevent data corruption. For communication with other system components, Xeon E5-2637 v4 uses PCI-Express 3.0 connections. This processor does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card may be necessary. Hardware virtualization (VT-x) is supported on the Xeon E5-2637 v4, significantly enhancing virtual machine performance. The processor also supports advanced instruction sets including AVX 2.0 for improved floating-point performance.
