The Xeon E5-2680 v4, Up Close
Xeon E5-2680 v4 - 14-Core Broadwell-EP
14 cores / 28 threads, 2.40GHz base and 3.30GHz maximum turbo, 35MB of Intel Smart Cache, 120W TDP on FCLGA2011, sSpec SR2N7 at stepping M0. Two QPI links at 9.6 GT/s, four DDR4 memory channels up to 1.5TB, and 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes. These are the published Intel ARK figures for the E5-2680 v4, which shipped both as tray part CM8066002031501 and as a boxed retail part BX80660E52680V4; the family launched in Q1'16 and is now listed by Intel as end of servicing updates, which is why supply today is decommissioned server pulls and remaining tray stock.
FCLGA2011 Socket Class
The E5-2680 v4 is an FCLGA2011 part: the processor carries the contact pads and the socket carries the pins, so a bent-pin problem is a board-side failure, not a CPU-side one. Because the E5 v4 generation uses its own revision of the 2011 socket, we confirm board compatibility against your platform's supported-CPU list before quoting rather than assuming another E5 generation will interchange.

This is one of the few pages in our CPU range where the whole table is manufacturer-documented: the E5-2680 v4 is a standard Intel SKU, so cores, clocks, cache, TDP, socket, memory and PCIe all come from Intel's own published specification rather than from a benchmark database. That matters at this age - the family launched in Q1'16 and Intel now lists it as End of Servicing Updates, so what circulates today is decommissioned server pulls and residual tray stock, and the specification is the one thing you do not have to take on trust.
If you are weighing it against a newer platform, our Xeon Gold 5218R page covers the 20-core Cascade Lake part on FCLGA3647, and the whole Intel range is in Intel server CPUs. Tell us your board model and we confirm socket support and memory population before quoting.
Transparent Pricing
2026 Reference Pricing by Configuration
We do not publish a price for this part. Intel's list reference is $1745.00, but that is a historical recommended customer price for a processor Intel has moved to end of servicing updates; it is not what the part trades at today and we will not dress it up as a quote. Pricing is built from the specific pulls and tray stock we can confirm for your quantity, and the same discipline applies to condition: every unit is checked against the physical marking rather than assumed from the model number.
Tested Server Pulls
On Request
Decommissioned-server pulls, individually tested with the diagnostic result recorded against the unit. Availability at this age moves in batches rather than steady supply, so we confirm against live stock before quoting.
Matched Pairs
On Request
Matched-stepping pairs for dual-socket FCLGA2011 boards, so a 2P system is not assembled from unrelated lots. Tell us your board and we confirm both sockets support the part.
Volume Orders (10+ units)
On Request
Multi-unit and repeat orders are quoted against live inventory, with freight consolidated from our Hong Kong warehouse.
No price is published for this SKU: we quote against confirmed stock rather than reprinting a historical Intel list price. The only figure Intel publishes for it is a recommended customer price of $1745.00, shown in the specification table for reference. Send us quantity and board model for a firm quote.

Quality Process
What We Check Before a Xeon E5-2680 v4 Ships
Model String and sSpec Verification
Heat-spreader marking and sSpec are read under magnification and checked against the exact processor number on your order, so a different E5 v4 SKU cannot be passed off as an E5-2680 v4.
FCLGA2011 Pad Inspection
The processor-side contact pads are inspected under magnification for contamination, corrosion and rework marks - on this socket generation the pads are on the CPU, so this is where heat and handling damage shows first.
POST and 14-Core Enumeration
Full 14-core / 28-thread POST on a reference FCLGA2011 board, with every core enumerated so nothing is silently dead.
Four-Channel Memory Validation
All four DDR4 channels are exercised on the reference platform. A CPU that posts but drops a channel is not shippable, and channel faults are the most common hidden fault on pulled server processors.
Thermal Behaviour Under Load
Load temperatures are logged so units with degraded heat-spreader contact or dried-out thermal interface are pulled before shipment.
Report in the Box
Every unit ships with its per-machine diagnostic report and warranty. Full process: inspection guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 cost in 2026?
We quote it against confirmed stock rather than publishing a number. Intel's recommended customer price for the E5-2680 v4 is $1745.00, but that is a historical list reference for a part Intel now lists as end of servicing updates and it bears no relation to what decommissioned pulls trade at today. Send us quantity and board model for a firm quote.
What is the difference between the Xeon E5-2680 v4 and the Xeon Gold 5218R?
They are two generations and a socket apart. The E5-2680 v4 is Broadwell, 14 cores / 28 threads, 2.40GHz base, 35MB cache, 120W on FCLGA2011 with four DDR4 channels and 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes, launched Q1'16. The Xeon Gold 5218R is Cascade Lake (2nd Gen Xeon Scalable), 20 cores / 40 threads, 2.10GHz base and 4.00GHz turbo, 27.5MB cache, 125W on FCLGA3647 with six DDR4-2667 channels, 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes and AVX-512, launched Q1'20. The 5218R gives roughly 43% more cores and hardware AVX-512, but it needs a different board: neither CPU drops into the other's platform. For existing FCLGA2011 fleets the E5-2680 v4 is the cheap in-socket upgrade; for new builds the 5218R is the more capable part.
Is the Xeon E5-2680 v4 still supported by Intel?
Intel's product specification for the E5-2680 v4 lists its servicing status as End of Servicing Updates, so no further microcode or security servicing should be expected from Intel. That is a real consideration for internet-facing workloads and we would rather say it than let you find out later. For internal, batch or lab workloads on existing FCLGA2011 hardware it remains a cost-effective 14-core part, and the alternative is moving platform entirely.
What condition are these CPUs in, and what warranty applies?
Units are decommissioned server pulls and residual tray stock: marking and sSpec verified against your order, FCLGA2011 pads inspected under magnification, full 14-core POST with all four memory channels exercised, and thermal behaviour logged. Each CPU ships with its diagnostic record and a 1-year warranty.
Can you ship the Xeon E5-2680 v4 worldwide from Hong Kong?
Yes. We ship worldwide from our Hong Kong warehouse with full export documentation, and express air freight typically arrives in 3 to 7 days to major markets. For volume or multi-SKU orders we consolidate freight with memory, storage and chassis to reduce the per-unit cost.
