Intel Xeon DP Quad-core L5520

The Intel Xeon DP Quad-core L5520 is a server-grade processor built for multi-threaded workloads in dual-socket platforms. It targets system integrators and IT teams refreshing older rackmount or workstation boards that still use the LGA-1366 infrastructure.

Socket B LGA-1366 and QuickPath limits

The chip plugs into a Socket B LGA-1366 package and communicates through a QuickPath Interconnect running at 5.86 GT/s. That link speed caps inter-socket bandwidth, so memory-heavy jobs that scale across two processors will hit the ceiling of this generation's interconnect.

Replaces earlier dual-core Xeon DP parts

Moving from a dual-core Xeon DP to this quad-core L5520 doubles the thread count while keeping the same socket and 8 MB L2 cache layout. The jump is worth it when workloads can use four cores but the platform cannot move to a newer socket generation.

Questions about this item

How do I know which Xeon DP L5520 model fits my server?

Match the Socket B LGA-1366 requirement and the 2.26 GHz clock speed to your motherboard's CPU support list.

What does the 2.26 GHz rating deliver in a live workload?

Four cores running at 2.26 GHz with 8 MB L2 cache handle parallel server tasks and 64-bit applications.

What does the 5.86 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect limit in practice?

The 5.86 GT/s link caps peak data transfer between this processor and the chipset or a second CPU.
