Xeon X5680 Hexa-core Processor
The Intel Xeon X5680 is a six-core server processor running at 3.33 GHz with 12 MB of L3 cache. It targets system builders upgrading or repairing LGA-1366 workstations and dual-socket servers that require Westmere-EP architecture.
QuickPath Interconnect 6.40 GT/s Limit
The processor communicates over a QuickPath Interconnect link rated at 6.40 GT/s, which caps inter-socket and I/O bandwidth for the platform. Workloads that saturate this link will not scale beyond its fixed throughput regardless of core count.
130 W Thermal Design Power Headroom
A 130 W TDP means the cooler and power delivery must sustain that heat load continuously under full utilisation. The 32 nm process and six cores provide strong multi-threaded capacity, but the fixed power envelope limits sustained frequency when all cores are heavily loaded.
