Meet Xeon E5-2690 — a modern solution from Intel, which saw the light of day :year_text. The processor is based on advanced 32 nm lithography and is compatible with the compatible motherboards connector. The computational arsenal of this model includes 8 cores, capable of executing 16 instruction threads simultaneously. In standard mode, the chip operates at 2.9 GHz. Under heavy loads, the frequency can automatically increase up to 3.8 GHz. The processor is equipped with a spacious buffer: the L3 cache memory volume is 20 MB. The manufacturer indicates heat dissipation at 135 W in standard operating mode. In entry-level or mid-range gaming builds, this processor will perform confidently, providing acceptable frame rates when using an appropriate graphics accelerator.
