Description
Product overview of the Intel BX80605X3440
The BX80605X3440 Intel Xeon X3440 is a quad-core processor designed for server and workstation systems. It was released by Intel in 2009 as part of their Xeon 3400 series. This processor has a clock speed of 2.53GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 8MB L3 Cache, and a 2.5GT/s DMI bus. It also uses the LGA-1156 socket and is built using a 45nm manufacturing process. In this article, we will discuss the technical specifications and features of the Intel Xeon X3440 processor in detail.
Quad-Core Processor
The Intel Xeon X3440 is a quad-core processor, which means that it has four processing cores on a single chip. This allows the processor to handle multiple tasks at once, making it ideal for multitasking and running resource-intensive applications. Each core on the Xeon X3440 runs at a clock speed of 2.53GHz, which provides a total of 10.12GHz of processing power. This makes the Xeon X3440 a powerful processor that can handle demanding workloads with ease.
Cache Memory
The Intel Xeon X3440 has a total of 9MB of cache memory. This includes 1MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache. Cache memory is a type of high-speed memory that is used to store frequently accessed data. The larger the cache, the more data can be stored, and the faster the processor can access it. The L2 cache on the Xeon X3440 is used to store data that is frequently accessed by the processor’s cores, while the L3 cache is used to store data that is shared between the cores.
DMI Bus
The Intel Xeon X3440 uses a Direct Media Interface (DMI) bus to connect to the motherboard. The DMI bus provides a high-speed link between the processor and the chipset on the motherboard. The Xeon X3440 has a DMI bus speed of 2.5GT/s, which provides a maximum bandwidth of 20GB/s. This allows the processor to transfer data to and from the chipset quickly and efficiently.
Socket LGA-1156
The Intel Xeon X3440 uses the LGA-1156 socket, which is a type of socket used for Intel’s mainstream desktop and server processors. The LGA-1156 socket is designed to provide a high-speed interface between the processor and the motherboard. It also provides support for dual-channel DDR3 memory, which allows the processor to access memory at a faster rate.
Manufacturing Process
The Intel Xeon X3440 is built using a 45nm manufacturing process. This refers to the size of the transistors on the processor’s chip. The smaller the transistors, the more can be packed onto the chip, which increases processing power and reduces power consumption. The 45nm manufacturing process used on the Xeon X3440 allows it to provide high processing power while still being energy efficient.
Power Consumption
The Intel Xeon X3440 has a maximum TDP (thermal design power) of 95 watts. TDP is a measure of the amount of power that the processor will consume under maximum load. The lower the TDP, the less power the processor will consume and the cooler it will run. The Xeon X3440’s 95-watt TDP makes it a relatively power-efficient processor, which is important for server and workstation systems that run 24/7.
