Lenovo 4XG0E76795 Thinkstation Intel E5-2650 V2 8C CPU

Lenovo 4XG0E76795 Intel Xeon E5-2650 V2 8-Core Server/Workstation CPU

Overview

The Lenovo 4XG0E76795 delivers a factory-genuine Intel Xeon E5-2650 V2 processor — an 8-core, 16-thread LGA 2011 CPU engineered for server and workstation platforms where compute density and memory bandwidth drive deployment decisions. Clocked at 2.6 GHz base with Turbo Boost reaching 3.4 GHz, this processor handles sustained multi-threaded workloads without the thermal runaway that plagues desktop-class chips pressed into server duty. If you are refreshing or upgrading a ThinkStation or compatible server platform built around the LGA 2011 (Socket R) infrastructure, the 4XG0E76795 is the channel-direct path to genuine, factory-new silicon — no grey-market, no parallel imports.

Fabricated on Intel's 22nm process, the E5-2650 V2 sits in the Xeon E5 V2 family's efficiency sweet spot: 95W TDP keeps power and cooling budgets predictable on rack-dense deployments, while dual QPI links running at 8 GT/s deliver the inter-socket bandwidth that matters when this CPU is paired in dual-processor configurations. Memory bandwidth tops out at 59.7 GB/s, which matters in analytics-heavy or database-driven workloads where RAM throughput is the actual bottleneck.

Key Features

• 8 Cores / 16 Threads (Intel Hyper-Threading): Sixteen logical processors visible to the OS means parallel workloads — VMS recording engines, transcoding pipelines, virtualization hosts — see dramatically better concurrency than a quad-core alternative. Each thread is independently schedulable, so a mixed-use server (VMS + analytics + management) benefits directly.
• 2.6 GHz Base / 3.4 GHz Turbo Boost: The 800 MHz headroom between base and boost clocks means single-threaded tasks (license plate reads, event-triggered analytics bursts) accelerate automatically without manual overclocking or thermal risk. The processor manages the ramp within its 95W TDP envelope.
• 20 MB L3 Cache: With 20 MB of shared L3 available across all eight cores, working datasets for analytics pipelines, database index scans, or NVR metadata operations stay in cache longer — reducing main memory round-trips and keeping latency consistent under load.
• 95W Thermal Design Power: At 95W TDP, power draw is predictable and compatible with standard server-class cooling solutions. In a dense rack environment, staying at 95W versus higher-TDP Xeons means you can deploy more sockets per rack without upgrading power distribution or HVAC.
• LGA 2011 (Socket R) — Dual QPI at 8 GT/s: Two QPI links running at 8 GT/s each support dual-processor motherboard configurations. If your platform supports multi-socket operation, this CPU can participate in a coherent NUMA topology — relevant for large-memory VMS servers or virtualization hosts running dozens of concurrent workloads.
• 59.7 GB/s Memory Bandwidth: For workloads that are genuinely memory-bandwidth-bound — real-time video analytics, in-memory databases, simulation — 59.7 GB/s max bandwidth provides substantial headroom. This is the ceiling determined by the processor's memory controller; actual throughput depends on the DIMM configuration and platform memory bus.
• 64-bit Instruction Support with 22nm Lithography: Full 64-bit instruction set support means no artificial memory address space limits, and the 22nm fabrication node balances transistor density against the mature, stable process reliability expected in commercial deployments running 24/7.
• VID Voltage Range 0.65–1.30V: The wide VID range (0.65–1.30V) allows the platform's power management firmware to step voltage aggressively during idle periods — translating directly to lower idle power draw on installations where the server is not under continuous full load.

Integration and Compatibility

The 4XG0E76795 is designed for platforms specifying LGA 2011 (Socket R) with Intel C600-series chipsets — the socket generation that underpins a broad range of server and workstation motherboards from Lenovo ThinkStation and compatible OEM platforms. Before installing, verify that the target motherboard's BIOS revision supports the E5 V2 (Ivy Bridge-EP) stepping; some early LGA 2011 boards shipped with BIOS targeting V1 (Sandy Bridge-EP) silicon and require a firmware update to enumerate V2 cores correctly.

The dual QPI link architecture means this CPU is a viable candidate for dual-socket motherboards where coherent cache access across sockets is required. On single-socket boards, the second QPI link is simply unused — no performance penalty. Memory configuration follows DDR3 ECC standards supported by the E5-2650 V2's integrated memory controller; consult your platform's memory qualification list for validated DIMM combinations at 59.7 GB/s bandwidth.

For server and workstation deployments in physical security infrastructure — VMS recording servers, video analytics appliances, or access control back-end platforms — the E5-2650 V2's core count and memory bandwidth make it a practical fit. Pair with adequate storage throughput: at 16 concurrent threads, the CPU can easily outpace a spinning-disk RAID array on write-intensive surveillance workloads; NAS or SAN storage with SSD caching is worth considering.

If you are building or upgrading a network video recorder platform, processor selection directly impacts concurrent channel capacity and analytics throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What socket does the Lenovo 4XG0E76795 use, and which platforms is it compatible with?

A: The 4XG0E76795 uses the LGA 2011 (Socket R) interface. It is compatible with server and workstation motherboards that support Intel Xeon E5 V2 family processors and Intel C600-series chipsets. Verify that your platform's BIOS supports the E5 V2 (Ivy Bridge-EP) stepping before installation.

Q: What is the TDP of the E5-2650 V2 in the 4XG0E76795?

A: The Thermal Design Power is 95W. This is the processor's rated thermal envelope, meaning your cooling and power infrastructure should be sized for at least 95W per socket.

Q: How many cores and threads does the 4XG0E76795 provide?

A: The processor has 8 physical cores and 16 logical threads via Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. The OS will see 16 schedulable processor threads.

Q: What is the maximum memory bandwidth supported by the 4XG0E76795?

A: The integrated memory controller supports a maximum of 59.7 GB/s memory bandwidth. Actual throughput depends on installed DIMM count, speed, and channel configuration on your specific platform.

Q: Does the 4XG0E76795 support dual-processor (multi-socket) configurations?

A: Yes. The E5-2650 V2 includes two QPI links at 8 GT/s each, which enables dual-socket motherboard configurations with coherent cache access across sockets. On single-socket boards, the second QPI link is unused without any performance impact.

Q: What is the Turbo Boost frequency for the 4XG0E76795?

A: The processor boosts from its 2.6 GHz base frequency up to 3.4 GHz under Turbo Boost, subject to thermal and power headroom within the 95W TDP envelope.
