IBM Intel Xeon X5650 6C 2.66GHz 12MB Processor Option for System x3550 M3 (feature 4603)

Six cores at 2.66GHz, 12MB of cache and a 95W TDP define the IBM Intel Xeon X5650 6C 2.66GHz 12MB Processor Option, MPN 59Y4009. Memory speed is listed at 1333 MHz.

For an IBM System x3550 M3 running virtual machines or other threaded work, the extra cores will matter more than a small clock change. Check that the chassis can handle 95W per socket.

Feature code 4603 identifies it.

Refurbished units carry 1 year or 3 years of warranty and used units carry 90 days. Send your quantity for pricing.

Six cores at a modest clock is a good match for consolidated workloads that run many light tasks at once rather than one demanding task. Matching processors in each socket is the safest way to build or repair the machine.
