Intel released the Xeon E5-2698A v3 processor :year_text, expanding its popular :family_text series. The chip is manufactured using a 22 nm process node and is designed for installation in the compatible motherboards socket. Multitasking is implemented through 16 cores and 32 computing threads, which is sufficient for comfortable work. In standard mode, the chip operates at 2.8 GHz. Under heavy loads, the frequency can automatically increase up to 3.2 GHz. For fast data exchange, 40 MB of third-level cache memory (L3) is provided. The processor's base thermal design power (TDP) is stated at 165 W. This is an uncompromising option for gaming. The chip demonstrates outstanding results in esports disciplines and demanding open-world games, minimizing frame rate drops (1% Low).
