The Intel Xeon L5335 was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in August 2007, at an MSRP of $380. It is part of the Xeon lineup, using the Clovertown architecture with Socket 771. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Xeon L5335 CPUs can work together in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon L5335 has 4 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2000 MHz. Intel is making the Xeon L5335 on a 65 nm production node using 582 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Xeon L5335, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 50 W, the Xeon L5335 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. Actual memory technology support depends on the chosen motherboard, because the memory controller is located on the motherboard (not in the processor). For communication with other components in the computer, Xeon L5335 uses a PCI-Express N/A connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Yes cooler.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability. Hardware virtualization is available on the Xeon L5335, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
