Xeon DP 5600 quad-core processor

The Intel Xeon DP E5606 is a quad-core server processor built on 32 nm technology and running at 2.13 GHz. It fits Socket B LGA-1366 platforms and supports 64-bit processing. The chip targets IT teams refreshing or repairing compatible dual-socket servers.

4-core headroom with 8 MB L3 cache

Four cores and 8 MB of shared L3 cache handle parallel workloads such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or batch compute jobs. The 1 MB L2 cache and 4.80 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect feed data to each core, while the 1.4 V DC operating point keeps thermal output in check. Heavy multi-threaded tasks that exceed four threads will queue rather than scale.

Socket B LGA-1366 compatibility decides fit

This processor only works in motherboards wired for Socket B LGA-1366 and the Xeon 5600 series chipset. Builders using newer socket generations or single-socket workstation boards cannot install it. Verify the platform socket before purchase.

Questions about this item

Can the Xeon DP E5606 run in my existing LGA-1366 server board?

The processor uses Socket B LGA-1366 and a 1.4 V DC input voltage; your board must match both.

How do I confirm the quad-core E5606 is operating at its rated 2.13 GHz after installation?

Check the CPU frequency in BIOS or a hardware monitor — it should report 2.13 GHz across all four cores.

Does the box include a heatsink or thermal paste for the 5600 series processor?

This is an OEM pack containing only the E5606 chip; a compatible LGA-1366 cooler and thermal compound must be purchased separately.
