Product Information

Designed for use with servers, the Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 Quad Core processor is a reliable workhorse that steadfastly maintains business operations. This CPU is distributed by Intel Corporation, which manufactures and distributes a long line of products with a reputation for high quality. It's equipped with a variety of Intel-trademarked technologies that serve to keep data secure while maintaining system stability and overall performance. Xeon CPUs not only represent an optimal solution for businesses with data center computing needs but can also be utilized for improved gaming performance in systems with GPUs as well.The Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 functions with Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and runs a 64-bit instruction set. Its CPU clock rate is designated as 3.30 GHz, and the chip possesses four cores. However, as Intel Hyper-Threading is installed, the chip can actually run eight threads simultaneously. In addition, Intel Turbo Boost allows users to increase the clock rate to 3.70 GHz. Data transfer rates are incredibly rapid with a bus speed of 5 GT/s, allowing for timely read and write operations to a server hard drive. This is complemented by the sizable 8 MB Smart Cache. Installing the chip with compatible DDR3 or DDR3L memory on a multichip FCLGA1150 motherboard will result in impressively efficient server operations.The security of data handled by the Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 is enhanced markedly by the presence of protective services like Intel Trusted Execution Technology (INTEL TXT). This software runs in tandem with the hardware-based Execute Disable Bit (EDB) service. TXT and EDB generate a safe computing environment protected from malicious programs and other threats that would compromise operational integrity. Furthermore, Error-Correcting Code (ECC) assists in preventing server crashes by isolating and rectifying memory errors. Another notable capability of the Xeon V3 is the ability to propagate virtualization platforms through Intel Virtualization, which allows multiple environments to run simultaneously. This provides for more efficiency in business operations while maximizing benefits.Since it’s a heavyweight performer with a thermal design power of 80 W, the Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 runs with thermal monitoring technologies designed to keep the hardware stable. Coupled with the appropriate cooling fan, this chip will keep core temperatures under control, preventing degradation and extending system longevity. The processor type isn’t limited exclusively to server applications; it’s also regarded as a highly useful core set for gamers’ purposes. Gaming enthusiasts can employ the Xeon V3 in combination with an appropriate power supply and GPU for performance on par with that of an overclocked CPU.Due to the power already wielded by the Xeon line of CPUs, overclocking is rendered unnecessary. Benchmarks have proven that the Xeon consistently handles heavy loads in both server and gaming systems with ease.
