The Xeon E7-8867 v3 model:family_text, developed by Intel engineers, expanded the range of desktop solutions :year_text. Thanks to the use of the 22 nm process node, the manufacturer achieved an excellent balance of performance. The chip is installed in the compatible motherboards socket. Multitasking is implemented through 16 cores and 32 computing threads, which is sufficient for comfortable work. Starting operating frequencies begin at 2.5 GHz. During resource-intensive tasks, the clock speed boosts to an impressive 3.3 GHz. Thanks to 45 MB of L3 cache, latency when accessing RAM is reduced. Nominal power consumption (TDP) is 165 W, so adequate cooling should be considered. The gaming performance of Xeon E7-8867 v3 is at a high level. Architectural improvements and a spacious cache allow the system to rapidly process game engine physics.
