Intel Xeon L5240 dual-core processor
The Intel Xeon L5240 is a dual-core server processor that runs at 3.0 GHz with 6 MB of L2 cache and a 1333 MHz front-side bus. It fits the LGA 771 socket and is intended for compatible dual-socket server boards that need additional processing threads.
Upgrade path for LGA 771 servers
This module replaces a slower or single-core LGA 771 Xeon when the board and chipset already support dual-core operation at 1333 MHz FSB. The jump is worth it only if the system firmware recognises the L5240 stepping and the cooling solution can handle the thermal output.
