The CISCO UCS-CPU-E52697E, powered by the Intel Xeon E5-2697v4 processor, is a powerhouse designed for high-demand environments and applications. With an impressive 18 cores and 36 threads thanks to Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology, this CPU is capable of managing heavy workloads with remarkable efficiency. The 2.30 GHz base clock speed, combined with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, allows the processor to dynamically increase its speed up to 3.60 GHz depending on the workload, providing both high performance and energy efficiency. A key feature of the E5-2697v4 is its 45MB of SmartCache, which significantly reduces latency when accessing frequently used data, thus speeding up data processing and improving overall system responsiveness. Furthermore, with a DDR4 memory controller supporting speeds up to 2400MHz, it offers fast memory access, which is vital for memory-intensive applications. The processor is designed with a thermal design power (TDP) of 145 watts, balancing performance with energy efficiency. Specifically designed for integration with Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS), the E5-2697v4 enhances server capabilities, making it an ideal choice for virtualization, big data analytics, and high-performance computing tasks.
