Intel Xeon E5620 Switch Module 2.4 GHz 80W
A quad-core Xeon processor running at 2.4 GHz with 12 MB L3 cache for FCLGA1366 socket servers
- Quad-core Xeon handles parallel workloads with 2.4 GHz clock speed
- 12 MB L3 cache reduces latency for data-intensive tasks
- 86 GT/s QPI speed accelerates inter-processor communication
- 80 W TDP balances performance with power efficiency
Quad-core Xeon for LGA 1366 servers
The Intel Xeon E5620 is a four-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. It fits the FCLGA 1366 socket and has a thermal design power of 80 W. This module targets administrators upgrading or repairing compatible dual-socket server boards.
Practical limits of the LGA 1366 platform
The processor communicates over a QPI link rated at 5.86 GT/s, which sets the interconnect bandwidth ceiling for multi-socket configurations. Buyers who need higher core counts, faster memory controllers or newer instruction-set extensions cannot meet those requirements with this socket generation.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 5.86 GT/s QPI speed version or a different speed for my FCLGA1366 socket?
This module only comes with a 5.86 GT/s QPI speed, so no choice is needed — it matches the FCLGA1366 socket directly.
What does the 2.4 GHz clock deliver in a live server with the 12 MB L3 cache?
The four cores run at 2.4 GHz and share 12 MB of L3 cache, giving steady throughput for multi-threaded server workloads within the 80 W power envelope.
