What the Xeon EC3529 is
The Intel Xeon EC3529 is a quad core Jasper Forest storage processor from February 2010. It runs four Nehalem class cores at 2.133 GHz with no turbo range listed. Cache is 8 MB on a 45 nm process. Power is rated at 65 W on LGA 1366.
The task list shows four cores with no thread count, so this page uses four threads without assuming Hyper-Threading. Against the LC5518 it matches cache at higher base clocks without turbo. Per-SKU details beyond the task list survive in few open sources, so this page stays close to the listed values.
There is no graphics on this die. I/O comes from the storage board chipset.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Xeon EC3529 fits LGA 1366 with 1366 lands. Storage boards with Jasper Forest firmware boot it directly.
The socket table carries no per-codename claim for Jasper Forest, so the page shows the neutral sentence. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is DDR3 ECC through the board design.
PCIe comes from the board chipset for storage controllers.
Cooling uses a server heatsink rated for 65 W on the 80 × 80 mm pattern.
Upgrade paths
On LGA 1366 the storage upgrade is a turbo Jasper Forest such as the LC5518 class on the same board. Beyond the storage platform a move to Xeon 5600 series needs a standard server board.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Xeon EC3529 use?
LGA 1366, the 1366-land package on storage boards with Jasper Forest firmware.
How many cores does the Xeon EC3529 have?
Four cores at 2.133 GHz with 8 MB of cache. The list shows no thread count, so no Hyper-Threading is assumed.
What memory works with the Xeon EC3529?
DDR3 ECC through the board design.
