Intel Xeon E5430 2.66 GHz 12 MB 1333 MHz FSB LGA771 45 nm 64-bit 80 W processor

SKU CH-D48T-T30A2

A quad-core Xeon processor running at 2.66 GHz with 12 MB L2 cache for LGA771 servers

  • Four processing cores handle parallel workloads
  • 12 MB L2 cache reduces memory latency
  • 1333 MHz front-side bus moves data quickly
  • 45 nm process keeps power draw at 80 W

Intel Xeon E5430 quad-core processor

The Intel Xeon E5430 is a 64-bit quad-core processor built on a 45 nm process with a 2.66 GHz clock speed. It uses the LGA771 socket and a 1333 MHz front-side bus. The 12 MB L2 cache and 80 W thermal design suit dual-socket server boards that still require this specific platform.

12 MB L2 cache and 1333 MHz bus headroom

The 12 MB L2 cache gives comfortable headroom for multi-threaded server workloads running on legacy operating systems. The 1333 MHz front-side bus becomes the bottleneck when memory bandwidth demand exceeds what the platform can deliver. Builders needing higher core counts or modern instruction sets cannot use this processor.

Questions about this item

Will this Xeon E5430 work in my existing LGA771 motherboard with a 1333 MHz front-side bus?

Yes, the processor uses the LGA771 socket and a 1333 MHz FSB, so it will install directly into a compatible motherboard supporting that bus speed.

How can I verify the 12 MB L2 cache and 2.66 GHz clock are active after installation?

Check the CPU details in your system BIOS or use an operating-system utility such as lscpu or Task Manager; both will report the 12 MB L2 cache and 2.66 GHz operating frequency.
