Additional Details:

The Intel Xeon E5507 features a clock speed of around 2.26 GHz and a 8MB Intel Smart Cache. It supports DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1066 MHz. The processor utilizes the LGA 1366 socket and has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of approximately 80W. The Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) provides high-speed communication between the processor and other components on the motherboard, reducing latency and improving overall system performance. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) enables more efficient use of server resources by allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This leads to better resource utilization and reduced costs. The processor is designed for single-socket server configurations, making it a suitable choice for smaller businesses with limited IT infrastructure.
