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.

Questions about this item

Which Xeon X5680 variant should I pick for a Socket B LGA-1366 board?

The BX80614X5680 is the only version listed; it fits Socket B LGA-1366 and runs at 3.33 GHz with 12 MB L3 cache.

What does the 3.33 GHz clock speed deliver in a real system?

Six cores at 3.33 GHz provide 64-bit processing at that frequency, with a 6.40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect linking the processor to the chipset.

How does the LGA-1366 interface limit performance?

The LGA-1366 socket caps the processor to a 6.40 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect and a 130 W thermal design power envelope.
