Intel Xeon X5670 Matching Pair - Six-Core Processor, 2.93GHz

The Intel Xeon X5670 is a high-performance six-core processor designed for use in multi-socket server and workstation environments. It operates at a base clock speed of 2.93 GHz and features 12MB of Smart Cache, which helps improve performance by allowing multiple cores to access shared data more efficiently. The processor uses a QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with a speed of 6.4 GT/s, enabling fast communication between the CPU and other system components. With a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 95W, it is optimized for performance while maintaining thermal efficiency. This particular listing refers to a matching pair of these processors, likely intended for dual-socket systems where two identical CPUs are used to maximize processing power.

The Xeon X5670 is part of the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture, which introduced several advancements such as integrated memory controllers and support for higher-speed memory. It is compatible with LGA 1366 socket motherboards and typically requires a motherboard with support for Intel's Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) for full performance benefits. These processors are commonly used in high-end workstations, virtualization environments, and data centers where multi-threaded performance is critical.

The SLBV7 is the specific stepping of this processor, indicating the manufacturing process and minor revisions that may affect performance or compatibility. The model number BX80614X5670 is the standard part number used by Intel for this particular processor variant.
