Xeon E5-1620 quad-core processor

The Intel Xeon E5-1620 is a quad-core processor built for single-socket servers and high-end workstations. It runs at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and provides 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The 32 nm design fits the LGA 2011 socket and carries a 130 W thermal rating.

Socket LGA 2011 and thermal envelope

This module requires a motherboard with an LGA 2011 socket and a cooling solution rated for 130 W. The QuickPath Interconnect link operates at 0 MT/s, so the part cannot participate in multi-socket configurations. Memory channels and PCIe lane counts are determined by the platform, not the processor alone.

130 W TDP defines deployment

The 130 W thermal design power is the single specification that decides whether this processor fits a given chassis and power budget. Builds limited to lower-wattage coolers or compact 1U enclosures cannot accommodate this part. Buyers needing multi-socket scalability or lower power draw should select a different model.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the E5-1620 with its 3.60 GHz clock or a lower-clocked E5-1600 model?

Choose the E5-1620 when you need the highest single-thread speed in the E5-1600 line; its 3.60 GHz base clock and 10 MB L3 cache give the best per-core throughput for lightly threaded workloads.

What does the 3.60 GHz figure deliver inside a real server?

The 3.60 GHz base frequency means each of the four Xeon cores runs at that speed continuously under load, providing predictable performance for compute-bound tasks such as financial modelling or CAD.

Which socket and interconnect standard does the E5-1620 use, and what do they limit?

The processor fits Socket FCLGA2011 and has no QuickPath Interconnect links, so it is limited to single-socket boards and cannot scale to multi-processor configurations.
