Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.3 GHz LGA1150 – Quad-Core server processor

Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 – quad-core server processor

The Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 from the Haswell family is a quad-core processing unit designed for servers and workstations. Thanks to Hyper-Threading technology it handles eight threads at once, which translates into good performance in multithreaded tasks typical of server environments.

Technical parameters

The processor runs at a base clock of 3.3 GHz and has 8 MB of L3 cache. It installs in an LGA 1150 socket, and its typical thermal design power (TDP) is in the 80 W class, which makes it easier to choose suitable cooling in a server case.

Compatibility

The processor supports DDR4 memory and the SSE4.1 and SSE4.2 instruction sets. PCI Express configurations include 1x16, 2x8 and 1x8+2x4 modes, which lets you flexibly divide bandwidth between a graphics card, disk controllers or network cards on a server board.

Applications

Given its parameters, the processor is well suited to small file servers, virtualization servers, workstations and DIY home NAS servers built on motherboards with an LGA 1150 socket. The manufacturer indicates compatibility with Windows Server 2012.
