Xeon E5410

The Xeon E5410 is a 4-core / 4-thread processor based on the Harpertown (2007−2008) architecture, manufactured on a 45 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 0.33 GHz from a base frequency of 2.33 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 12 MB L2 Cache L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 6 MB (total) of L2 cache and 64 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 2,032, placing it in the Entry Level performance tier as a Legacy generation product.

The Xeon E5410 fits into the LGA771 socket and supports PCIe 2.0 with 0 total PCIe lanes for expansion cards and storage. It supports DDR2, DDR3 Depends on motherboard memory at speeds up to DDR2-667 (faster RAM improves bandwidth-sensitive workloads), with a maximum capacity of 32 GB across 2 channels (dual-channel doubles bandwidth). It supports ECC memory, providing error-correcting capabilities — essential for mission-critical workloads and servers.

The Xeon E5410 is primarily designed for Server. Virtualization: VT-x — enables running virtual machines efficiently (important for development and server workloads).

The Xeon E5410 has a rated TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 80 Watt — this indicates the amount of heat generated under sustained load and determines what cooling solution is needed.

At an average price of $20 (MSRP: $256), the Xeon E5410 delivers 102 PassMark points per dollar. It currently holds Rank #918 in the overall cost-benefit ranking — this ranking factors in performance-per-dollar relative to all available processors. Performance ranking position: #2571 out of all indexed processors.
