Intel Xeon 5120 dual-core processor
The Intel Xeon 5120 is a dual-core server processor that runs at 1.86 GHz with a 4 MB L2 cache. It uses a 1066 MHz front-side bus and fits the LGA 771 socket. The 65 nm design has a 65 W thermal design power.
Upgrade from single-core Xeons
Replacing a single-core Xeon with this dual-core model adds a second execution thread for parallel workloads such as virtualisation or database serving. The jump is worthwhile when the platform already supports the LGA 771 socket and the 1066 MHz bus. Buyers who need more than two cores or a newer socket should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the Xeon 5120 require an LGA 771 socket to fit?
Yes, the processor is built for the LGA 771 socket, so the motherboard must provide that exact interface.
What is the installation step that people often miss when seating this Xeon 5120?
Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down without force, then close the retention lever fully to lock it in place.
