Intel · Xeon E5 · 2012 · LGA1356
The Intel Xeon E5-2430L is a server processor with 6 cores, released in 2012. It is part of the Xeon E5 lineup, using the Xeon E5 platform, and fits the LGA1356 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Sandy Bridge-EN" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon E5-2430L has a base clock of 2 GHz and can boost up to 2.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Sandy Bridge-EN" silicon on a 32nm process node. This processor supports DDR3 memory across 3 channels, up to 384GB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 24 lanes of PCIe 2.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 60W, the Xeon E5-2430L is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 15MB of L3 cache.
Xeon E5-2400/1400 series on LGA1356 — a cost-reduced dual-socket platform positioned between mainstream E3 and the full HEDT-class E5-1600/2600 on LGA2011.
