IBM Intel Xeon X5680 6C 3.33GHz 12MB Processor Option for System x3550 M3 (feature 4608)

Six cores at 3.33GHz make the IBM Intel Xeon X5680 6C 3.33GHz 12MB Processor Option, MPN 59Y4014, a high-end choice for the x3550 M3. It has 12MB of cache and a memory speed rating of 1333 MHz.

TDP is 130W, so plan the thermal and power budget around it. For a System x3550 M3 where both core count and clock speed matter and the chassis can take the heat, it suits the job.

The feature code is 4608.

Refurbished units carry a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used units carry 90 days. Request pricing with your quantity.

Two of these in one server will add significantly to power draw and heat, so verify the power supplies and cooling first. For virtualization or compute where you want both many cores and a high clock, it is the part to look at.
