A powerful, high‑core processor suited to dual‑socket enterprise or research servers. The Xeon E5‑2696 V4 delivers 22 physical cores and Hyper‑Threading for 44 logical threads, strong single‑thread burst via up to 3.6 GHz Turbo, and a large 55 MB L3 cache for data‑heavy workloads. It supports wide DDR4 memory capacity and common Intel enterprise technologies, making it ideal for intensive virtualization, databases, or compute tasks on existing rack servers across Dubai and the wider UAE.
While the E5 v4 family is a generation behind the newest chips, tested stock remains a practical route to restore or expand performance without a full platform redesign. Intel recognizes this model among processors that may lack standard ARK listings, as some variants were custom or OEM‑defined, reinforcing the need to verify specific unit details with suppliers.
Diversified can source this part for planned deployments where supplier availability permits, with condition, compatibility, delivery and applicable warranty confirmed in the quotation.
Key Features
• 22 cores and 44 threads for heavy multi‑threaded workloads in servers and virtualization hosts. • 2.2 GHz base, up to 3.6 GHz turbo for balanced throughput across mixed enterprise tasks. • 55 MB L3 cache to reduce latency on frequently used datasets and improve overall CPU efficiency. • DDR4 support up to 1.5 TB via four memory channels, enabling large in‑memory workloads, dense VMs, or high‑capacity caches. • AVX2, virtualization, and security extensions , plus Turbo Boost and Hyper‑Threading, providing capabilities needed in modern server setups. • New or selected pre-owned sourcing can be evaluated for production, branch and lab systems according to compatibility, condition, budget and delivery requirement.

Use cases / Compatibility
• Office or data‑closet server refresh in Dubai : upgrade or replace CPUs in dual‑socket platforms to restore high throughput for file servers, virtualization hosts, or application servers. • Branch or lab systems across UAE : effective for Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, or Ras Al Khaimah sites needing reliable compute without buying entirely new hardware. • Virtualization, database, or analytics workloads : high core count plus large memory capacity suits multiple VMs or in‑memory caches on capable server platforms. • Research, education, or development : useful in labs, offline clusters, or temporary server deployments where budget is tight and known performance is critical. • Staged lifecycle plans : extend current hardware life while planning migration to newer architectures, supported by quotation-led sourcing and UAE delivery coordination.
Certifications or standards
• Designed for server and enterprise use; supports Intel’s set of security, reliability, and virtualization technologies.
• Family‑level documentation and specifications support professional planning for compliance or performance checks.
• Stock sourced as used, refurbished, or new is tested by Diversified to align with UAE deployment expectations, including guidance on installation, power, cooling, and airflow in racks or closets.
