Description
Introduction to the Intel Xeon X5675 Processor
The Intel Xeon X5675 is a six-core processor that was released in Q2 of 2010. It is part of the Xeon 5600 series and is built on the 32nm Westmere-EP architecture. It has a base clock speed of 3.06GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.46GHz. The X5675 also features 1.5MB of L2 cache and 12MB of L3 cache, as well as a 6.4 GT/s QPI (QuickPath Interconnect) for efficient communication between the processor and other system components. The X5675 is designed for use in high-performance workstations and servers and is suitable for a wide range of applications such as video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific simulations.
Comparison to similar processors in the Xeon family
The Intel Xeon X5675 is similar to other processors in the Xeon 5600 series, such as the Xeon X5670 and the Xeon X5660. All three processors have six cores and feature the same base clock speed of 3.06GHz. The main difference between these processors is the amount of cache they have. The X5675 has 12MB of L3 cache, while the X5670 has 12MB of L3 cache and the X5660 has only 10.66MB of L3 cache. In terms of power consumption, the X5675 has a TDP (thermal design power) of 130W, while the X5670 has a TDP of 95W, and the X5660 has a TDP of 95W. The X5675 also supports Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, which allows for improved performance in multi-threaded applications.
Additionally, the X5675 also has a higher QPI speed of 6.4 GT/s compared to the X5670 and X5660 which have a QPI speed of 6.4 GT/s. This means that the X5675 can communicate with other system components at a faster rate, which can result in improved system performance.
