Intel Xeon E-2336 6-Core 2.90GHz Server Processor

With 6 cores (12 threads) at a 2.90GHz base clock, boosting to 4.80GHz, the Intel Xeon E-2336 carries 12MB of cache and is rated at 65W. Part of the Intel server line, it uses FCLGA1200 and addresses up to 128GB of memory at 3200MHz DDR4.

With simultaneous multithreading enabled, it presents 12 threads to the operating system. Boost clocks apply when thermal and power headroom allow; the base clock is the sustained figure. Apply fresh thermal paste each time the processor is seated. A 65W processor needs a heatsink rated for its power, and higher-TDP parts may need the server’s high-performance heatsink. In most dual-socket servers the second processor also brings its own memory channels and expansion lanes into play. Its S-spec, SRKN5, pins down the exact stepping. It suits general-purpose server duty on its platform. Pair it with an identical processor in dual-socket systems, and confirm the heatsink and BIOS support a 65W chip before installing. Per-core software licensing makes core count a cost decision as well as a performance one.

As a certified refurbished part, it is inspected, bench-tested and function-checked by our Johannesburg team before release.
