- Intel Virtualization Technology: Allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, improving resource utilization and reducing costs.
- Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX): A set of instructions that improve performance for floating-point-intensive workloads.
- Intel Advanced Smart Cache: Optimizes cache memory allocation for improved performance and efficiency.
- Intel QuickPath Interconnect: A high-speed interconnect that improves communication between the processor and other components in the system.
- Intel FlexMigration: Allows easy migration of existing server workloads to new systems, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Intel Node Manager: A power and thermal management technology that helps reduce energy consumption and costs.
These features can be beneficial for a wide range of applications, including data centers, scientific simulations, and multimedia rendering.
Power Consumption
The Intel BX80614X5690 Xeon X5690 processor has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating of 130 watts, which is a measure of the amount of power the processor uses. The TDP rating is a measure of the processor’s power consumption during normal operation, and it is a useful metric for comparing processors and determining the power requirements of a system.
It’s important to note that the actual power consumption of the processor will depend on the specific workloads and operating conditions. A processor running at full load with all cores active may consume more power than the TDP rating, while a processor running at low load or with some cores in a low-power state may consume less power.
Additionally, the power consumption of the processor will also depend on the other components in the system, such as memory, storage, and other peripherals. The power supply unit (PSU) of the system must be able to provide enough power to support all the components, taking into account the processor’s TDP rating.
Socket Compatibility
The Intel BX80614X5690 Xeon X5690 processor is compatible with the LGA 1366 socket, also known as the Socket B. This socket is a type of land grid array (LGA) socket, which means that the processor’s pins are located on the socket itself, rather than on the processor.
The LGA 1366 socket is a high-performance socket that was used in several generations of Intel Xeon processors, and it is compatible with the X58 and X79 chipsets. The socket has 1366 pins, which are used to connect the processor to the motherboard’s power, data, and control buses.
It’s important to note that the processor must be compatible with the socket and the chipset in order to work correctly in a system. Using a processor with an incompatible socket or chipset can cause the system to malfunction or not work at all.
When choosing a motherboard for a system with the Intel BX80614X5690 Xeon X5690 processor, it’s essential to ensure that the motherboard has an LGA 1366 socket and is compatible with the X58 or X79 chipset. Using a motherboard that does not support this socket will not allow the processor to be compatible with the board.
