Intel Xeon E5520 quad-core processor
This Intel Xeon E5520 processor delivers four cores at 2.26 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 8 MB L3 cache. Built on a 45 nm process, it has an 80 W thermal design power and uses a 5.86 GT/s QPI link. The chip fits LGA 1366 sockets and is supplied as a processor-only unit.
Build integration with LGA 1366 platform
The processor requires a motherboard with an LGA 1366 socket and a compatible chipset to operate. Its 80 W rating guides cooler selection and power-budget planning for the system. Buyers needing higher core counts or newer instruction sets should consider other options.

Questions about this item
What is the thermal design power of the Xeon E5520?
The processor is rated at 80 W, so sustained workloads will be limited by that thermal envelope.
How much heat does the 80 W Xeon E5520 generate during all-day operation?
At full load the chip dissipates 80 W, requiring a cooler and airflow capable of handling that continuous heat output.
