Intel Xeon E5462 2.8 GHz 12 MB L2 1600 MHz FSB LGA 771 45 nm 80 W switch module

SKU CH-T931-Q65EB

A quad-core Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz with 12 MB L2 cache and 1600 MHz FSB for LGA 771 servers

  • Quad-core Xeon handles parallel workloads with 2.8 GHz clock speed
  • 12 MB L2 cache reduces latency for data-intensive tasks
  • 1600 MHz FSB accelerates system communication bandwidth
  • 45 nm process keeps power draw at 80 W thermal design

Intel Xeon E5462 quad-core processor

The Intel Xeon E5462 is a quad-core processor running at 2.8 GHz with 12 MB of L2 cache. It uses a 1600 MHz front-side bus and fits the LGA 771 socket. Built on a 45 nm process, the chip has an 80 W thermal design power. It suits servers or workstations that need this specific socket and bus architecture.

Practical limits of the LGA 771 platform

The LGA 771 socket and 1600 MHz front-side bus define the upgrade ceiling for this processor. Systems using this interface cannot accept newer CPU generations or different socket types. Memory capacity and speed are constrained by the chipset paired with this platform. Buyers needing higher core counts, faster interconnects or modern instruction sets must choose a different server architecture.

Questions about this item

Which Xeon E5462 version should I pick?

The supplier lists a single configuration: quad-core at 2.8 GHz with 12 MB L2 cache, 1600 MHz FSB and an 80 W TDP in an LGA 771 package.

What does the 2.8 GHz clock mean once the processor is installed?

It sets the base operating frequency of each of the four cores, so every core runs at 2.8 GHz under standard load before any thermal or power limits apply.
