What the Xeon X7350 is

The Intel Xeon X7350 is a 2.933 GHz multiprocessor quad core from September 2007. It runs four Core cores at 2.933 GHz with no turbo, so 4 cores give 4 threads. Cache is 8 MB of L2 as two 4 MB dies on a 65 nm process. Power is rated at 130 W on Socket 604.

The X7350 led the Tigerton 7300 line on a 1066 MT/s bus with an 11x multiplier at about 2301 dollars launch price. It exists because performance multiprocessor servers wanted the highest Tigerton quad clock with the full 8 MB cache.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The X7350 fits Socket 604 multiprocessor server boards with a BIOS that lists Tigerton quads. It suits quad-processor chassis qualified for 130 W parts. Check the server maker CPU list for the exact board and stepping. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory is DDR2 through the server board chipset.

A 1066 MT/s front side bus ties the CPU to the server chipset. PCIe slots hang off the chipset.

Cooling uses vendor qualified server heatsinks for the 130 W envelope in performance chassis with directed airflow.

Upgrade paths

On Socket 604 the upgrade is Dunnington six-core parts such as the 2.4 GHz E7450 at 90 W on Caneland boards, or the Intel Xeon E7340 at 2.4 GHz for the same 8 MB cache at 80 W. Beyond Socket 604 a move to a newer Xeon platform needs new boards and memory.
