The Intel Xeon X3220 quad core processor is ideal for small business owners looking for ways to grow business, manage operations more effectively and efficiently, and protect and secure one of their most important assets — information. Based on Intel’s Core micro architecture it is designed to deliver better performance on multiple application types and user environments at a substantially reduced power envelope.
You also get Intel Virtualization Technology hardware enhancements that support software based virtualization. It works with VMware, Virtual PC and XenSource and products from an increasing number of software vendors. Virtualization combined with multiple cores gives you maximum power and performance per square foot.

Fantastic
- Pros: Just installed it and is running great. Currently running 450 MHz FSB X 7 mult = 3.15 GHz, 1.45 Vcpu on an old Zalman CNPS7700 I had lying around. 32 C idle, 58 C max load. I haven't tried to go higher, and probably won't. No compatibility problems noted so far w/ Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard. I did get the GO stepping.
- Cons: No cons for the product. UPS shipping was horrible - ordered Dec 15th with "3 day guarantee". It just arrived Dec 29th. The excuse was the Seattle snow - but FedEx came by my house twice during the same time span.
- Other Thoughts: Running 1:1 with 8 GB of the new G.Skill Pi-black @4-4-4-12 and 1.9 VDimm. Planning to use this as a home server w/ a 6 disk RAID 5 using the Intel MATRIX RAID controller. I'll may lower the clock once I get a feel for CPU load during heavy software RAID usage. This might have been overkill for my primary purpose. If so I'll do other things with it - tv tuner box etc.
Good CPU but watch compatibility!
- Pros: This is a very good processor for the money. It also overclocks well.
- Cons: None for it's stated purpose as a server processor. See the "Other Thoughts" section.
- Other Thoughts: I have an EVGA nForce 680i SLI 775 A1 motherboard with the latest BIOS update for the Kentsfield core. With this CPU installed, Windows XP Professional boots and runs OK, but important system processes randomly crash. For example, iexplorer.exe repeatedly crashes and restarts in both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows XP. When I replaced the Xeon X3220 with the desktop Q6600 processor, everything in Windows returned to working perfectly. I even reinstalled Windows from scratch with this CPU and got the same results: the X3220 has repeated system process crashes while the Q6600 has none.
EVGA’s technical support told me that their motherboard was compatible with the X3220. My experience indicates that there exists some type of incompatibility between the X3220 and my motherboard that EVGA is not aware of. My advice would be to stick with the Q6600 for the desktop motherboards and use the X3220 with a server motherboard.

Inexpensive server Processor
- Pros: Very inexpensive server processor. Works with low end servers. Socket 775, quad core, great deal.
- Cons: None I can think of.
- Other Thoughts: Running this processer in a 1U server as a gateway router and minor web server.
Runs great
- Pros: Fast, Reliable, affordable, efficient
- Cons: higher power consumption compared to other Xeons.
- Other Thoughts: I am using this chip in a HP 120 G5 server. I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V. I'm running 3 VMs. The server has 8GB of ram. This chip handles everything - no problems. I'm running ColdFusion, MS SQL 2008, and a XP VM. I have not had any bottlenecks. This is a great chip!
Indy 500
- Pros: after setting the Mb Bios , this CPU has been running
Like its at the Olympics , no sweat, Cool and havent skip a beat.
With a tower case I purchase 12 yrs (Elite case. You dont throw away $350.00 cases) ago and a new 500w PS , and a new facelift, place in a closet , you dont even know its there. 5 fans + CPU fan keeps this CPU at 55-60 degrees . Circulation pulls cool from the low front, two top fans pulls the upper heat out.65 degrees+/_ 3
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: 64 cache?
Recommend-Yes
MS Home server to top it off!

Highlights
 |
Quad-core Processing with 8MB L2 Cache
The Intel Xeon X3220 processor features four complete processor cores in one physical package. Significant performance headroom, especially for multi-threaded applications, helps boost system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness. Its 8MB (2 x 4MB) L2 cache increases efficiency of L2 cache-to-processor data transfer, maximizes main memory to processor bandwidth and reduces latency.
|
 |
Supports Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)
With Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple “virtual” platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members using the same platform simultaneously.
|
 |
Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Enhances next-generation IA-32 platforms with 64-bit addressability and related instructions, allowing flexibility for both 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.
|
 |
Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
|
 |
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and average heat production. Combined with existing power saving features, EIST may provide an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving power when you don’t.
