Intel · Xeon E3 · 2011 · LGA1155
The Intel Xeon E3-1220 is a server processor with 4 cores, released in 2011 at an MSRP of $193. It is part of the Xeon E3 lineup, using the Xeon E3 platform, and fits the LGA1155 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Sandy Bridge" architecture. The Xeon E3-1220 has a base clock of 3.1 GHz and can boost up to 3.4 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Sandy Bridge" silicon on a 32nm process node. This processor supports DDR3 memory across 2 channels, up to 32GB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports single-socket (1P) configurations, with 16 lanes of PCIe 2.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 80W, the Xeon E3-1220 sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 8MB of L3 cache.
Entry single-socket Xeon E3 on the mainstream LGA1155 desktop platform — small business server tier of 2nd Gen Core.
