Intel Xeon X5450 quad-core processor
The Intel Xeon X5450 is a quad-core processor running at 3.0 GHz with 12 MB of L2 cache and a 1333 MHz front-side bus. It uses a Socket LGA 771 interface and is built on a 45 nm manufacturing process with a thermal design power of 120 W. This component is intended for upgrading or repairing compatible server and workstation platforms.
Socket LGA 771 compatibility requirement
This processor only fits motherboards equipped with a Socket LGA 771 interface and a chipset that supports 45 nm quad-core Xeons with a 1333 MHz front-side bus. Builders whose boards use a different socket or lack the required chipset support cannot install this part.

Questions about this item
How does the 3.0 GHz clock speed perform in a live server?
The 3.0 GHz frequency gives each of the four cores strong single-thread response for legacy workloads and older virtualization hosts.
What does the 1333 MHz front-side bus limit in practice?
The 1333 MHz front-side bus caps total bandwidth between the processor and the chipset, which can become a bottleneck in memory-heavy tasks.
