Summary
About the Intel Xeon E5-4640 CPU
The Intel Xeon E5-4640 is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012. It is part of Intel's Xeon E5 lineup, which is based on the Sandy Bridge-EP microarchitecture. The E5-4640 is compatible with Intel Socket 2011 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Xeon E5-4640 supports DDR3 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-4640 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 20 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon E5-4640 features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 2.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Xeon E5-4640 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the Intel Xeon X5677 CPU
The Intel Xeon X5677 is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2010. It is part of Intel's Xeon lineup, which is based on the Westmere-EP microarchitecture. The X5677 is compatible with Intel Socket 1366 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Xeon X5677 supports DDR3 memory and features a triple-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 3 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon X5677 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon X5677 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Xeon X5677 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
