Intel · Xeon 5500 · 2010 · LGA1366
The Intel Xeon EC5549 is a server processor with 4 cores, released in 2010. It is part of the Xeon 5500 lineup, using the Xeon 5500 platform, and fits the LGA1366 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Jasper Forest" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 8 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon EC5549 has a base clock of 2.533 GHz and can boost up to 2.933 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Jasper Forest" silicon on a 45nm 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 both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations, with 36 lanes of PCIe 2.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 85W, the Xeon EC5549 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.
Nehalem-based Xeon variant for embedded and storage applications, with integrated PCIe controller.
