About this product

Product Information

The Intel Xeon X5670 is a 6-core processor that runs at 2.93 GHz. Having multiple cores allows this Intel CPU to handle multiple tasks at once. With each core running a different operation, the Xeon X5670 is great for people who like to multitask. This unit is compatible with the FCLGA1366 socket. This is a popular socket size and is often used for Intel Xeon processors. The socket supports plug and play, so you can plug compatible Intel CPUs into the socket and go.The Intel Xeon X5670 2.93 GHz has a maximum RAM size of 288GB. It's compatible with DDR3 RAM and offers three channels of memory. This Xeon 2.93 GHz model also has a maximum memory bandwidth of 32 GB/s. This is the largest amount of memory that the processor can read every second. One reason for the high benchmarks of this processor is its six cores. Each core is clocked at a frequency of 2.93 GHz or 2,930 MHz. When using Intel Turbo Boost Technology, this number can be overclocked to 3.33 GHz or 3,330 MHz. It's these high specifications that make this a great Xeon processor for PC gaming in a 64-bit system.The Xeon X5670 2.93 GHz unit features three levels of cache. In total, this Intel Xeon unit offers 12MB of Intel SmartCache. This is a type of program designed by Intel that shares cache found in the last level. This results in a fluid exchange of cache to the areas that need it the most. This makes your motherboard more efficient and faster at distributing resources.This Xeon 2.93 GHz CPU has a thermal design power, or TDP, of 95W. This is the amount of energy, in watts, that this unit needs to run at its base frequency. Thanks to Intel Thermal Monitoring Technologies, overheating isn't an issue. The hardware uses Digital Thermal Sensors to monitor its core heat level. These sensors can lower the power consumption of the Intel Xeon X5670 2.93 GHz to avoid overheating if necessary.This Xeon unit has a bus speed of 6.4 GT/s QPI. This is the rate at which the Xeon CPU carries data between itself and the memory controller via the QPI. The QPI works much in the same way as the HyperTransport found in AMD units. A faster QPI speed means that the Xeon unit can access the data stored in the memory controller quicker. With the high transfer rate of the QPI in this unit, PC users can prevent bottlenecking. This prevents QPI slowdown and lag when playing games. The Intel Xeon X5670 2.93 GHz unit also features Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality. This piece of built-in Intel tech acts as a buffer, protecting the Xeon unit from malicious programs that attempt to access the core.This Xeon 2.93 GHz unit also features Intel VT. This is a type of virtualization software that works with your system to improve the overall performance of the computer. That allows for the creation of a number of environments on one PC. These virtual environments can also be split up across a number of servers as well. Moving software away from the hardware can reduce costs and help strengthen core security.

  • Best upgrade I ever made for the money!

    I went from the i7 920 to this X5670 and the performance difference is night and day. I went from a Cinebench R15 score of 418 to 673cb for the CPU and from 66 to 78fps for the OpenGL test. Once overclocked the scores jumped to 920cb and 103fps respectively. This is running with a Asus Strix GTX 1070. Game performance and workstation performance has improved significantly, especially with CPU intensive programs/games. I'm running it @4Ghz (22x multi, 1.34vcore, 182fsb, 1.129v qpi) on an Asus P6T Deluxe v1 with the latest bios (make sure to install the latest bios before installing the X5670). Rock solid with a Corsair H80 at minimum fan setting with idle temps of 40 degrees and load of 69 degrees. There's still room for tweaking, but I'm happy with 4Ghz and don't want to add any extra voltage/heat/wattage. All in all, if you have a quality 1366 motherboard and don't want to fully upgrade yet or spend a lot of money, then this is your ticket out. Once overclocked it will keep up with current cpus and for $60 you can't beat the performance/value.

  • Perfect for Dell T7500

    Wanted to do cheap upgrade for a Dell T7500 home lab server and the X5670 works perfect. Upgraded from E5645 to x5670 and I can tell a bit of improvement on performance. I'm running VMs so needed the extra CPU power. Install was easy and stays pretty cool. Was worried about higher wattage usage and heat output, but seems to stay cooler than older model. Just installed so time will tell on reliability, but Intel Xeon prods never have let me down. Granted they are older CPUs, but they still outperform some of the newer CPUs and a whole lot cheaper.

  • The processors work great, relatively easy install. MUCH better processors than my previous.

    I now have a 24 thread server running unraid. These processors have drastically improved the power of my z800. They went in easy, and were recognized by the system no problem.Unraid sees all 24 threads and runs amazingly well now. Running unraid? 89.99 lifetime. Adding drives? 116 each for 4tb drives. Going from 8 threads to 24? Priceless.

  • Best deal ever! $34 for what cost ~$1400 when first introduced.

    And an easy 25-35% performance boost over the first generation i7 920 CPU it replaced. Will be more if and when I get it stably overclocked. I haven't yet, but that's not the chip's fault, more mine as I'm not sure how to best set everything. Many report stable 4.1 Ghz overclock speeds.

  • Good performance upgrade for Quad-core Mac Pro

    The 2.93GHz 6-core CPU provided a significant performance upgrade for my aging 2010 Mac Pro. The new CPU replaced a 2.8GHz 4-core processor and was relatively easy to install with the help of a YouTube movie.

  • Three times faster then the CPU I had.

    This CPU is almost 3 times faster then the 4 core I had in the server. The difference is noticeable. I installed it a couple of weeks ago in my HP Proliant ML350 G6 Server and so far it is working fine.

  • Great inexpensive upgrade for an old Dell R610

    Dell R610s and similar older servers are appearing in large numbers at low prices. These servers still have a lot of life left in them, particularly if you give them plenty of memory and use 2.5" SSDs. If you are using them as virtualization servers, more cores is always best, and replacing low-spec processors like the E5503s with a pair of the Intel Xeon X5650/60/70/80/90 six-core processors, you can squeeze quite a few VMs onto one of those R610s. Formula: cheapest R610 you can find with an H700 RAID controller + 2 X56xx processors + 96gb or 192gb memory + 4-6 1tb consumer SSDs in a RAID6 + free edition of VMware ESXi 6 = crunchy VM goodness. I'm getting 40 Windows VMs + half a dozen fairly grunty Linux servers onto one of these beasts for under 1500 dollars. Such a deal.

  • Nice inexpensive powerhouse

    This processor runs good at stock speed with XMP enabled. Going to play around with the MB settings and maybe overclock it a tad. Works great in an X58 board. No issues at all.

  • E7-4870 money well spent

    If you are running E7-48xx CPUs that are lower than the E7-4870's then upgrading to the 4870 should be a must as the price on the 4870 is a lot cheaper than what they costs in 2009 (over 4000$ USD each). Plus you'll get 10 cores and faster clock speeds.

  • CPU's that never disappoint

    These cpu's are much easier than earlier CPU's to work with. You just plug them in and go. Makes my day extremely easy and gives me more time building the business.
