Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 18-core LGA2011
With 18 cores and 36 threads, this 22nm Xeon E5 v3 processor delivers strong parallel throughput for virtualized environments, supported by a massive 45MB L3 cache and up to 768GB of DDR4 memory. Its 145W TDP and single-socket LGA 2011-v3 design make it a cost-effective drop-in upgrade for aging workstation or server infrastructure. This chip is best for homelab operators and IT admins running multiple VMs or threaded server applications who don’t require high single-core speed.
