Intel Xeon E5430 2.66 GHz 12 MB 1333 MHz FSB LGA771 45 nm 64-bit 80 W processor
A quad-core Xeon processor running at 2.66 GHz with 12 MB L2 cache for LGA771 servers
- Four processing cores handle parallel workloads
- 12 MB L2 cache reduces memory latency
- 1333 MHz front-side bus moves data quickly
- 45 nm process keeps power draw at 80 W
Intel Xeon E5430 quad-core processor
The Intel Xeon E5430 is a 64-bit quad-core processor built on a 45 nm process with a 2.66 GHz clock speed. It uses the LGA771 socket and a 1333 MHz front-side bus. The 12 MB L2 cache and 80 W thermal design suit dual-socket server boards that still require this specific platform.
12 MB L2 cache and 1333 MHz bus headroom
The 12 MB L2 cache gives comfortable headroom for multi-threaded server workloads running on legacy operating systems. The 1333 MHz front-side bus becomes the bottleneck when memory bandwidth demand exceeds what the platform can deliver. Builders needing higher core counts or modern instruction sets cannot use this processor.
Highlights
- Four processing cores handle parallel workloads
- 12 MB L2 cache reduces memory latency
- 1333 MHz front-side bus moves data quickly
- 45 nm process keeps power draw at 80 W

Questions about this item
Will this Xeon E5430 work in my existing LGA771 motherboard with a 1333 MHz front-side bus?
Yes, the processor uses the LGA771 socket and a 1333 MHz FSB, so it will install directly into a compatible motherboard supporting that bus speed.
How can I verify the 12 MB L2 cache and 2.66 GHz clock are active after installation?
Check the CPU details in your system BIOS or use an operating-system utility such as lscpu or Task Manager; both will report the 12 MB L2 cache and 2.66 GHz operating frequency.
