v3 and v4 family CPUs
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 and v4 family is designed to deliver the best combination of
performance, built-in capabilities, and cost effectiveness:
performance, built-in capabilities, and cost effectiveness:
● More than twice the performance and more cores (up to 16 cores per socket) than the previous
generation Intel Xeon processor
● Low-power, high-speed DDR4 memory technology
● Increased performance with Intel AVX2
● Increased virtual machine density
● Automated energy efficiency that reduces energy costs by automatically putting the processor and
● Increased performance with Intel AVX2
● Increased virtual machine density
● Automated energy efficiency that reduces energy costs by automatically putting the processor and
memory in the lowest available power state while still delivering the performance required
● Flexible virtualization technology that optimizes performance for virtualized environments, including
processor support for migration and direct I/O
● Innovation with the latest processors, which increase processor frequency and improve security
With the increased performance provided by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 and v4 family, Cisco
HyperFlex HX-Series Nodes offer an improved price-to-performance ratio, making Cisco HyperFlex HX-
Series systems among the best values in the industry.
