Intel E5-2403 Switch Module

SKU CH-CKJQ-80H9Y MPN E5-2403

Quad-core Xeon processor running at 1.80 GHz with 10 MB L3 cache for server workloads

  • Quad-core Xeon processor handles parallel server workloads
  • 80 GHz base clock delivers steady compute performance
  • 10 MB L3 cache reduces data-access latency
  • 22 nm process technology improves performance per watt
  • 40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect speeds CPU-to-CPU communication

Quad-core Xeon processor for entry servers

The Intel Xeon E5-2403 v2 is a 1.80 GHz quad-core server processor built on 22 nm technology. It provides four cores and 10 MB of L3 cache for basic multi-threaded workloads. The 6.40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect links the CPU to the platform. This module targets cost-sensitive deployments that need reliable x86 compute.

Suits single-socket boxes needing low power draw

Buyers who want higher clock speeds, more cores or larger caches should look elsewhere. The fixed 1.80 GHz frequency and 80 W-class design limit throughput for heavy virtualization or database tasks. Systems requiring overclocking headroom or advanced instruction-set extensions are not a fit.

Socket compatibility decides fit

The processor installs only in motherboards wired for its specific socket. Verify the board’s socket designation before purchase because no other physical interface will accept this package. The 6.40 GT/s interconnect speed is also fixed by the socket generation.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.80 GHz clock speed mean for actual server workloads?

The Xeon E5-2403 v2 runs at a fixed 1.80 GHz across its four cores, giving predictable throughput for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization hosts or storage controllers without turbo boost variability.

How does the 6.40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect limit system expansion?

The 6.40 GT/s link connects the processor to the chipset and adjacent CPUs, capping inter-socket bandwidth and total I/O throughput in dual-socket configurations.

What physical socket and clearance does the 22 nm Xeon need?

The processor fits a Socket 22 nm package and requires a server board with the matching LGA layout plus enough height for a standard server heatsink.
