Product Information
The Intel Xeon X5450 quad core central processor unit's four cores are each available to take on hefty processing tasks. This component can be a powerful example of the famous Harpertown series of Intel Xeon CPUs. It can offer the processing power to suit a variety of applications. Intel 64 bit technology can be well represented on this fully PC compatible processor. Since 32 bit and 64 bit operation are both options, the most advanced versions of Windows can be run in either configuration. This can be helpful when you are maintaining a business server.The delicate infrastructure and programming of the CPU divides the workload and keeps the data stream from becoming backlogged. At the same time, the Intel quad core technology can provide the raw power to get the job done. The four core system is designed, manufactured and assembled according to the 45 nm protocol. Intel's quad core fabrication skills can be some of the most useful features of these processors. The 3 GHz clock speed is a testament to this. It maintains a Front Speed Bus of 1333 MHz under normal conditions. Either of these hardware performance benchmarks can be greatly improved with overclocking. The excellent thermal profile of this chip can help shed heat anytime you need it to run a bit faster.This Xeon also does its best to reduce operational heat by keeping some basic processes right there on the chip. In addition to the L1 operational memory of 32 KB, there’s a Level 2 memory cache included with this CPU. This 12MB cache can allow important system operations to be carried out completely on the processor. This can save valuable FSB and processor time for you, and it can increase your entire system's efficiency and output.For you, that means that work can get done faster, while your programs remain responsive and quick, even while multitasking. The Xeon 3 GHz quad core chip comes with Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Technology for efficient data management. This contributes to the minimal power drain to your computer and the low overall TDP. The Thermal Design Point for this CPU is rated at 120 W. This can be very reasonable for a processor of this power. The Intel Xeon X5450 has been well designed enough to handle heat output greater than this during overclocking.The Intel Xeon X5450 3 GHz, from the Harpertown series of CPUs, was designed for use with home servers or business servers. Naturally, the Xeon includes virtualization technology, which permits you to run a separate virtual machine alongside your current operations. That way you can perform tests and run additional programs on your virtual machine without affecting anything else. This tech can provide greater safety and security.When you install the Xeon X5450, you can expand the capabilities of your home or business server. These processors fit into motherboards that feature the LGA socket 771, which is also referred to as Socket J. The Xeon provides over 700 land points for the complete integration of the CPU into the motherboard. This can mean good operation upon installation, little power lost to waste heat, and robust compatibility with different chipsets.Product Identifiers
