The Intel Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core was a server/workstation processor with 2 cores, launched in December 2005. It is part of the Xeon lineup, using the Paxville DP architecture with Socket 604. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core CPUs can work together in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.8 GHz. Intel is making the Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core on a 90 nm production node using 200 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 135 W, the Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core consumes a lot of power, so good cooling is definitely needed. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Xeon MP 7030 Dual-Core uses a PCI-Express N/A connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability.
