Intel Xeon 5120 dual-core processor
The Intel Xeon 5120 is a dual-core processor operating at 1.86 GHz with a 4 MB L2 cache and a 1066 MHz front-side bus. It uses the LGA 771 socket and is built on a 65 nm process with a 65 W thermal design power. This module suits server and workstation builders who need a reliable dual-core Xeon for compatible platforms.
Sustained-load thermal behaviour
Under continuous workloads the 65 W TDP defines the steady-state heat output that the cooling solution must dissipate. The 65 nm process helps maintain stable frequencies during extended compute tasks without exceeding the rated thermal envelope. Builders requiring higher core counts or newer instruction sets should evaluate alternative processors.

Questions about this item
How much power does the Xeon 5120 draw when running continuously?
The processor has a 65 W thermal design power, so sustained all-day operation stays within that envelope.
What socket must the motherboard provide for this Xeon 5120 to work?
It requires an LGA 771 socket; the board must support that interface and a 1066 MHz front-side bus.
