Intel Xeon E5-1660 15MB Cache 3.30 GHz 6 Cores 12 Threads Processor

The Intel BX80621E51660 is a Xeon E5-1660 processor built for servers and workstations that need consistent, dependable computing power. Six physical cores combine with Intel Hyper-Threading to present twelve logical threads, allowing the chip to run multiple virtual machines, database queries, or rendering jobs at the same time without slowing down.

A base clock speed of 3.30 GHz handles everyday tasks, and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically raises individual cores to 3.90 GHz when extra speed is required. The 15 MB Intel Smart Cache keeps frequently used data close to the cores, reducing wait times and improving overall responsiveness.

With support for up to 256 GB of DDR3 memory across four channels, the processor offers generous bandwidth for large datasets and memory-intensive applications. Forty PCI Express lanes provide ample connectivity for high-speed storage arrays, network adapters, or multiple GPUs.

For companies consolidating physical servers, Intel Virtualization Technology helps create secure, efficient virtual environments. Creative studios, research labs, and growing businesses alike can rely on this processor to deliver steady performance while maintaining a 130 W thermal design power that balances workload demands with power consumption.
