Intel Xeon 5500 Gainestown CPUs
Dell PowerEdge R710 Intel Xeon 5500 Series Processors (CPUs)
The Dell PowerEdge R710 server will accept up to two (2) Intel Xeon 5500 series processors.
Designed for industry-leading performance and maximum energy efficiency, the Intel Xeon processor 5500 sequence delivers versatile one-way and two-way 64-bit multi-core servers and workstations that are ideally suited for a wide range of infrastructure, cloud, high-density, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series offers up to nine times faster performance over single-core servers. It automatically places CPUs and memory into an optimal power state for maximum performance, while reducing energy use over single-core servers. Users can also mix different generations of Intel Xeon processors within the same pool, achieving a 9:1 server consolidation ratio, while reducing operating costs up to 90 percent, resulting in an estimated eight month ROI.
Selective processors in the Intel Xeon 5500 series also support Turbo Mode. Turbo Mode is an OS-controlled operation that automatically allows the processor to run faster than the marked frequency if the processor is operating below power, temperature, and current limits.
Unless otherwise noted, processors have been tested and removed from working servers and are backed by our 90-day parts replacement warranty. Heatsinks are sold separately.
