The Xeon X5660 model:family_text, developed by Intel engineers, expanded the range of desktop solutions :year_text. The processor is based on advanced 32 nm lithography and is compatible with the compatible motherboards connector. The CPU received 6 physical cores. Thanks to multi-threading technology, it processes up to 12 data threads. The base clock speed is 2.8 GHz. Automatic overclocking algorithms allow the chip to accelerate up to 3.2 GHz when the system demands it. Thanks to 12 MB of L3 cache, latency when accessing RAM is reduced. The TDP level for this model is set within 95 W. While Xeon X5660 is not positioned as a flagship gaming solution, it is quite capable of handling popular games at medium settings when combined with a discrete graphics card.
