Intel Xeon W3520

Description

Parameter,Specifications & Details
Brand,"Intel (Lineup: Intel® Xeon® W-Series Workstation Class, Architecture Generation: Bloomfield / Nehalem microarchitecture)"
Scores (Benchmarks),"PassMark CPU Mark Score: ~2,750 to 2,950 points (Legacy rating; roughly scales to identical performance footprints of a first-generation Intel Core i7-920 desktop chip)"
Class,Server & Workstation Processor
Cores & Threads,"4 Cores, 8 Threads (Utilizes Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology)"
Integrated Graphics,None (N/A). Designed purely for computational workstations and data enterprise motherboards. It lacks any onboard graphics processor on the die. A dedicated discrete graphics card (GPU) or a server board equipped with an integrated display IC (like an onboard VGA chip) is mandatory to establish display output.
Usage Type,"Legacy computing setups, single-socket entry-level servers, virtualization laboratories (home labs), budget Network Attached Storage (NAS) configurations, or ultra-budget retro PC building."
TDP Power,130 Watts (A heavy thermal design footprint that demands a massive aftermarket air tower cooler or a robust server rack cooling infrastructure to prevent temperature limits)
Clockspeed Base,2.66 GHz
Turbo Speed,Up to 2.93 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 1.0)
Socket Type,LGA 1366 (Socket B)
Cache Memory,8 MB Intel® Smart Cache (Shared L3 Cache; accompanied by 1 MB L2 cache split across individual processing cores)
RAM Support,"Triple-channel memory layout natively supporting DDR3 modules running at speeds of 800/1066 MHz.• Maximum System Limit: Dynamically constrained by the motherboard chipset up to 144 GB.• Supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) Memory, which intercepts background memory block failures to maintain high levels of calculation stability."
