Intel® Xeon™ L5530

The Intel Xeon L5530 is a server processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Nehalem architecture. It launched in Aug 2009. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 2.66 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It supports DDR3 memory. It uses the FCLGA1366 socket. Rated TDP is 60 W.

The Intel Xeon L5530 scores 1,169 in single-core performance and 2,522 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,717 for overall performance, 3,276 for productivity performance, 3,491 for creator performance, 2,427 for engineering performance and 4,138 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 631 per core, 315 per thread and 42 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 222. Its performance index is 21, so its overall performance is 79% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Xeon L5530.

The Intel Xeon L5530 has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 2.66 GHz.

The Intel Xeon L5530 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon family and uses the Nehalem architecture. It launched in Aug 2009.

The Intel Xeon L5530 has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 9.3 MB of cache, or 2.31 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon L5530 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 8 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 86% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon L5530 supports DDR3 memory and runs memory at up to 1,066 MT/s. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon L5530 uses the FCLGA1366 socket.

The Intel Xeon L5530 has a rated TDP of 60 W.
