Xeon e5 2670 был очень популярен до массового снижения цен на старшие модели и появления на рынке процессоров второго поколения. Благодаря достаточно сбалансированной одноядерной и многоядерной производительности, он актуален и сейчас. Однако, при сборке с нуля есть смысл обратить внимание на более новые модели, например .

Характеристики

Разгон

Как и все модели в серии, Xeon e5 2670 имеет заблокированный множитель, поэтому разгон возможен только шиной. Для большинства китайских материнских плат потолком будет 3-7% от стоковой частоты. Владельцы брендовых плат могут рассчитывать на более высокие показатели.

Производительность и тесты

8 ядер и 16 потоков позволяют смело использовать модель для рендеринга, работы с фото, аудио и другими распаралелленными задачами. Если 8 ядер недостаточно, но тактовая частота не критична — стоит обратить внимание на начальные 10-ядерные камни следующего поколенения, например .

Результаты других тестов можно увидеть в этом видео (начиная с 3:33):

Xeon e5 2670 заметно лучше подходит для игр, чем 2660 и . Достаточно высокая тактовая частота обеспечивает комфортный fps в подавляющем большинстве современных хитов. Редким исключением могут стать игры, требующие высокой одноядерной производительности, с ними лучше справятся более мощные модели, такие как xeon e5 2680 и 2690 (как v1 так и v2) или процессоры из линеек

Был одной из самых востребованных моделей, благодаря отличному соотношению цена — производительность. Сейчас, после очередной волны апгрейдов серверов, в продаже появилось уже второе поколение Xeon E5 2600, построенное на архитектуре Ivy Bridge. Посмотрим, чем нас порадует обновленный 2670 v2 и будет ли он так же хорош, как старая модель.

Новый 22 nm техпроцесс благоприятно сказался на энергоэффективности процессора. Хотя TDP не изменился, потребление энергии и тепловыделение уменьшились. Ядра новой архитектуры немного мощнее, к тому же теперь их 10, а не 8. Увеличился и кэш третьего уровня, теперь он составляет внушительные 25 мб.

Появилась поддержка DDR3 (включая ECC) с частотой вплоть до 1866 Мгц, ранее такую частоту можно было получить только разгоном.

К сожалению, увеличения тактовой частоты не произошло, более того, она сократилась на 100 МГц и составляет теперь 2.5 ГГц против 2.6 у 2670 v1.

Производительность и разгон

Несмотря на меньшую частоту, в целом, производительность увеличилась примерно на 10-15%. Заметно выросло многопоточное быстродействие, благодаря увеличению количества ядер. Single-core производительность тоже стала посильнее, тут сыграл кэш и новая архитектура.

С современными играми процессор справляется хорошо, редкие исключения могут составить сильно процессорозависимые игрушки, но таких крайне мало. Количество кадров можно увидеть в видео. Стоит учесть, что процессор в небольшом разгоне, а видеокарта — nvidia 970, Xeon e5 2670 v2 может спокойно работать и с более мощными картами.
