The Intel Xeon E5-4655 v3 processor is part of the Intel Intel Xeon processor E5- 4600 v3 product family for servers. It is usually referred to by its step code SR22R. The CPU boasts 6 cores and 12 threads and operates at a 2.9 GHz base frequency. The MPN also has 30MB of L3 Cache, a 9.6 GT/s bus speed, and 2 QPI links for optimum performance. The E5-4655v3 uses 135W of Thermal Design Power and is designed to work with Motherboards that have FCLGA2011-3 Sockets. The memory requirements are limited to 768 GB of DDR4 memory type, and 4 channels.

 Four-socket servers based on the Intel Xeon processor E5- 4600 v3 product family provide high-density, energy-efficient compute resources to support larger workloads and high virtual machine densities in your data center or cloud. These servers deliver a major leap in performance versus previous generation systems, along with advanced Intel technologies that can help you monitor, secure, and orchestrate your data center resources more effectively. By extending the proven value of the Intel Xeon processor E5 v3 family into 4-socket server platforms, they give you more options and greater flexibility for scaling your infrastructure and growing your business.

 The Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 v3 product family delivers up to 49% average performance increase than previous generation so you can deliver faster application response times and support heavier workloads on fewer servers. These processors provide up to 50 percent more cores, threads, and cache than the prior generation.2 They also support DDR4 memory, for up to 1.4x higher memory bandwidth and reduced power consumption.

 Additional and dramatic performance gains can be achieved for many enterprise applications using Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (Intel AVX2) with Fused Multiply Add (FMA) instructions. Intel AVX2 doubles the number of floating point operations that can be performed per second (flops). It also doubles the maximum width of vector integer instructions to 256 bits, so up to twice the amount of work can be performed in every clock cycle.
