Intel Xeon W3520 2.66GHz SLBEW Switch Module
A quad-core Xeon processor running at 2.66 GHz for LGA 1366 servers
- Quad-core Xeon delivers parallel throughput at 2.66 GHz
- 45 nm process keeps 130 W TDP in check
- 8 GT/s QPI links processor to chipset fast
- LGA 1366 socket fits compatible server boards
Quad-Core Xeon Processor for LGA 1366 Servers
The Intel Xeon W3520 operates at 2.66 GHz with four cores built on a 45 nm process. It provides 1 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache for multi-threaded workloads. The processor fits Socket B motherboards using the LGA 1366 interface.
130 W TDP Demands Steady Cooling Under Load
A thermal design power of 130 W means sustained heat output that requires robust airflow or liquid cooling. The 4.8 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect maintains bandwidth during extended compute tasks. Buyers without adequate cooling capacity should consider lower-power alternatives.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 130 W Xeon W3520 generate during continuous all-day operation?
The processor is rated at 130 W TDP, so sustained full-load operation will dissipate that amount of heat and requires a cooler and chassis airflow designed for at least 130 W.
What motherboard socket and power delivery must I already have for this SLBEW Xeon to work?
It installs in an LGA 1366 / Socket B motherboard that can deliver the 130 W power envelope and supports a 4.8 GT/s QPI link.
