IBM Intel Xeon E5649 6C 2.53GHz 12MB Processor Option for System x3650 M3 (feature A0Z1)

Six cores in an 80W package: the IBM Intel Xeon E5649 6C 2.53GHz 12MB Processor Option for System x3650 M3, MPN 81Y6542, has a core-to-power ratio that suits virtualization and consolidation. It runs at 2.53GHz, has 12MB of cache and lists a memory speed of 1333 MHz.

For an x3650 M3 that must host a fair number of workloads without a major step up in heat, this is a practical option. Feature code A0Z1 identifies it.

We supply refurbished units with 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used units with 90 days. Tell us how many you need and we will return pricing and lead time.

Six cores at this rating can also make an older x3650 M3 more useful as a virtualization host without any change to its cooling arrangements. Mention how many sockets you plan to fill when you request pricing.
