Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 LGA2011
The six-core, 2.4GHz base clock and 15MB L3 cache provide stable throughput for legacy dual-socket LGA 2011-3 servers. Its low acquisition cost makes it a practical drop-in upgrade for aging workstations needing basic multi-threaded reliability. This processor is best for IT maintainers extending the life of Gen 3 Xeon systems running undemanding virtualization or file-serving tasks.
