Description
Product overview of the HP 636204-B21
The HP 636204-B21 is a 3.06GHz Intel Xeon X5675 processor with 6 cores and 12MB of L3 cache. It is designed for use in the HP DL180 G6 server and is built on the 32nm Westmere-EP architecture. This processor is optimized for server environments and is ideal for use in data centers, cloud computing, and other demanding enterprise applications. It supports Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, which allows for up to 12 threads to be processed simultaneously, and has a 6.40 GT/s QPI (QuickPath Interconnect) for fast communication between the processor and other system components.
Processor Details
The HP 636204-B21 processor is an Intel Xeon X5675, which is part of the Xeon 5600 series of processors. It has a clock speed of 3.06GHz, which is the speed at which the processor can execute instructions. This processor has 6 cores, which means it can handle 6 threads at a time. Each core has its own 12MB L3 cache, which is a high-speed memory area that stores frequently used data and instructions for quick access by the processor.
The Xeon X5675 is built on the 32nm Westmere-EP architecture, which provides improved performance, energy efficiency, and scalability compared to previous generations of Xeon processors. It also supports Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, which allows for up to 12 threads to be processed simultaneously, providing increased performance for multi-threaded workloads.
This processor also supports Intel’s Turbo Boost technology, which automatically increases the processor’s clock speed when needed, to deliver extra performance when it is needed.
In terms of power consumption, the X5675 has a TDP (thermal design power) of 130W, which is the maximum amount of power it will consume under normal operating conditions.
Compatible Systems
The HP 636204-B21 processor is designed for use in the HP DL180 G6 server. The DL180 G6 is a 2U rack-mountable server that is well-suited for a variety of enterprise applications such as data centers, cloud computing, and virtualization. It supports up to two Intel Xeon processors and has a maximum of 24 DIMM slots for memory.
This processor is also compatible with other HP servers that use the LGA1366 socket and support the Xeon 5600 series processors, such as the DL380 G6, DL580 G7, BL460c G7, and SL165s G7.
It is important to note that some servers that support the LGA1366 socket may have additional hardware or software requirements, so it’s always recommended to consult the server’s technical specifications and compatibility list before installing a new processor.
Additionally, this processor is compatible with a wide range of operating systems such as Windows Server, Linux, VMware, and Citrix XenServer.
