Dual-core Xeon MP for scalable workloads
The Intel Xeon MP E7220 is a dual-core processor running at 2.93 GHz on a 1066 MHz bus. It targets technical computing workloads such as financial modelling and high performance computing where sustained throughput matters. The 65 nm process and 8 MB L2 cache support 64-bit processing in multi-socket systems using the PGA-604 interface.
Sustained throughput under continuous load
The 7200 series is built for complex, time-critical calculations that must complete without interruption. Dual cores share the 8 MB L2 cache to maintain data locality during long-running jobs. The 1066 MHz bus feeds both cores steadily so throughput scales predictably across sockets.
80 W TDP with 66 °C thermal limit
Thermal design power is rated at 80 W with a maximum case temperature of 66 °C. The processor operates at 1.3 V DC and meets RoHS environmental standards. Cooling solutions must dissipate 80 W continuously while keeping the package within the specified thermal envelope.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the Xeon E7220 produce when running at its 80 W thermal design power all day?
The dual-core Xeon E7220 has an 80 W thermal design power and a maximum case temperature of 150.8 °F (66 °C), so sustained full-load operation will require a heatsink and airflow rated for at least that power level.
Which socket and chipset must my motherboard provide for the Xeon E7220 to function?
This processor fits a Socket PGA-604 and requires a server-class chipset that supports the 1066 MHz front-side bus and 1.3 V DC core voltage used by the Xeon 7200 series.
Will the Xeon E7220 work in a system that currently uses an older single-core Socket PGA-604 Xeon?
Yes, the E7220 shares the same Socket PGA-604 and 1066 MHz bus, but the board must supply 1.3 V DC and its BIOS must recognise the dual-core 7200-series stepping for the processor to initialise correctly.
