LENOVO 40K1224 – Intel Xeon DC Processor Model 5150

Detailed Description:

The LENOVO 40K1224 features the Intel Xeon DC Processor 5150, a dual-core CPU engineered for mid-range server applications. As part of the Woodcrest line, it was one of Intel’s first forays into energy-efficient performance at a time when data centers sought to reduce power consumption without sacrificing computing power. The processor operates at 2.66GHz, providing a solid performance baseline for various server tasks, from web hosting to application development environments. Its 65W thermal design power (TDP) represents an excellent balance between computing capability and energy consumption, ideal for businesses mindful of operational costs. The 4MB L2 cache is relatively generous, allowing the CPU to access frequently used data more promptly, thus enhancing overall system responsiveness. This processor uses the LGA771 socket, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server motherboards available at its time of release. It supports Intel’s Virtualization Technology (VT-x), allowing for the creation and management of multiple virtual environments on a single physical hardware platform, a feature critically important for optimizing server resources. The Xeon 5150, with its dual-core architecture, stands as a testament to the evolution of server CPUs, offering a blend of efficiency and power that laid the groundwork for future generations of server processors.
