Intel CM8062000862604 Xeon E5-2440 2.4GHz Server Processor

Name: Intel CM8062000862604 Xeon E5-2440 2.4GHz Server Processor
Brand: Intel
SKU: CM8062000862604

Overview

The Intel Xeon E5-2440 (CM8062000862604) is a server-grade processor built on Intel's Sandy Bridge-EN architecture, targeting single- and dual-socket server platforms that use the LGA 1356 socket. With six physical cores and hyperthreading support, it delivers 12 threads of processing power at a base frequency of 2.40 GHz, backed by 15MB of Intel Smart Cache. The 7.20 GT/s QPI interconnect ensures efficient data throughput between the processor and the platform's chipset, which is particularly important in multi-socket configurations and memory-intensive workloads.

Designed for reliability in always-on server environments, the E5-2440 includes support for ECC memory, Intel VT-x and VT-d virtualization technologies, and Intel Trusted Execution Technology. These features make it a practical choice for small-to-midsize server deployments handling virtualization, database management, or general-purpose computing tasks. While it has been superseded by newer Xeon families with improved performance-per-watt, the E5-2440 remains a cost-effective option for maintaining or upgrading existing LGA 1356-based server infrastructure.
