The Intel Xeon MP 3.00GHz is a Server released in 2014. Recorded specifications include 1 cores and 2 threads, a 85 W reference TDP, a 580 CPU Mark. Use these figures to understand its position, then compare the results with your software and the complete platform.

Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 580 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 607 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

It uses socket PPGA603. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.

Memory and power

The 85 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions

What are the key Intel Xeon MP 3.00GHz specifications?

The main recorded details are 1 cores and 2 threads, a 85 W reference TDP, a 580 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.

Is the Intel Xeon MP 3.00GHz good for gaming?

The product name or CPU Mark alone cannot answer that. Check single-thread performance, core count, the target graphics card, gaming resolution and results from the games you play.

Which motherboards support the Intel Xeon MP 3.00GHz?

Start with PPGA603 motherboards, then confirm the official CPU-support list and required BIOS revision for the exact board before buying.

How much power does the Intel Xeon MP 3.00GHz use?

The recorded reference TDP is 85 W. Real consumption can be lower or higher depending on power limits, motherboard, workload and cooling.

This guidance interprets recorded specifications and results; it does not claim hands-on device testing. Results can vary with motherboard, power, memory and cooling.
