IBM 90Y5954 Xeon E5-2650L 8-core 1.8 GHz 20 MB L3 70 W server processor

SKU CH-SQDF-9BJ5J MPN 90Y5954

Eight-core Xeon server processor running at 1.8 GHz with 20 MB L3 cache and 70 W TDP, supporting DDR3 1600 memory

  • Supported memory speedDDR3 1600
  • Eight cores handle parallel workloads
  • 8 GHz base clock with 20 MB L3 cache
  • 70 W TDP limits power draw in dense racks
  • DDR3 1600 integrated controller matches X3500 M4 memory bus

Refurbished Xeon server processor for X3500 M4

This refurbished IBM 90Y5954 installs a Xeon E5-2650L with eight cores running at 1.8 GHz and 20 MB L3 cache. It fits the FCLGA2011 socket in an X3500 M4 server and draws 70 W. The part is sold as processor only.

DDR3 1600 memory limit and single-socket platform

The integrated controller supports DDR3 at 1600 MT/s and does not run faster memory speeds. The 8 GT/s QPI link is designed for single-socket use, so a second processor cannot be added. Buyers needing multi-socket scaling or higher memory bandwidth should choose a different platform.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 8-core 1.8 GHz model or a higher-clock alternative for my X3500 M4?

This 8-core Xeon runs at 1.8 GHz with a 70 W TDP, balancing multi-thread throughput and lower power draw for dense server deployments.

What does the 20 MB L3 cache and 1600 MHz DDR3 controller deliver in practice?

The 20 MB shared L3 cache reduces latency for heavily threaded workloads, while the integrated DDR3 1600 memory controller feeds all eight cores without a separate northbridge.
