Intel Xeon E5310 1.6 GHz 8M L2 Cache 1066MHz 4 Core Processor

The Intel BX80563E5310A is a Xeon E5310 server processor with four physical cores that run at 1.6 GHz. It fits the LGA 771 socket and works well in boards that accept multiple CPUs. An 8 MB shared L2 cache and a 1066 MHz front side bus keep data moving efficiently between the processor and system memory, so routine database work, file sharing, or application hosting stays responsive.

This model is a practical choice if you are refurbishing an older rack mount chassis, building a budget-conscious lab node, or expanding capacity in a small business server that already uses the 5000 series Xeon platform. Support for Intel Virtualization Technology lets you consolidate several light virtual machines on one physical host, and the 64 bit architecture allows modern operating systems to address large memory pools without trouble.

Because the processor draws modest power for its class, it pairs comfortably with either an active heatsink or a 1U passive cooling solution, depending on the airflow design of your case. The result is dependable performance without excessive noise or heat in the rack.
