What the Xeon LC5528 is
The Intel Xeon LC5528 is a quad core Jasper Forest storage processor from February 2010. It runs four Nehalem class cores at 2.133 GHz base with Turbo Boost to 2.533 GHz, with Hyper-Threading for eight threads. Cache is 8 MB on a 45 nm process. Power is rated at 60 W on LGA 1366.
The LC prefix marks low voltage in the embedded storage line. Against the 85 W EC5549 it trades clocks for power at the same cache. Per-SKU details beyond the task list and the Intel C5500 and C3500 documents 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 LC5528 fits LGA 1366 with 1366 lands. Storage boards with Jasper Forest firmware boot it directly. Retail X58 boards rarely list it.
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 60 W on the 80 × 80 mm pattern.
Upgrade paths
On LGA 1366 the storage upgrade is a faster Jasper Forest such as the EC5549 class on the same board. Beyond the storage platform a move to Xeon 5600 series needs a standard server board.
Frequently asked questions
