IBM Intel Xeon L5640 6C 2.26GHz 12MB Processor Option for System x3550 M3 (feature 4599)

Six cores in a 60W envelope is the appeal of the IBM Intel Xeon L5640 6C 2.26GHz 12MB Processor Option, MPN 59Y4005. It clocks at 2.26GHz, has 12MB of cache and lists a memory speed of 1333 MHz.

For an IBM System x3550 M3, that gives you more cores for the thermal budget than a typical quad-core option. It is a natural pick for consolidated virtual machine hosts in racks where power is tight.

The feature code is 4599.

Refurbished units come with 1 year or 3 years of warranty and used units with 90 days. Send your quantity and we will respond with pricing.

With six cores and a 1333 MHz memory rating, it is also a practical fit for file, mail and application servers that spend much of the day lightly loaded but need room for peaks. Check your operating system licensing against the core count before ordering.
