A summary based on specifications and results.
Intel Xeon X5355 @ 2.66GHz is a Server processor with 4 cores and 4 threads. Its base clock is 2.7 GHz. It records a PassMark CPU Mark of 2039 and a single-thread rating of 1041. Its stated TDP is 120 W.
Specification context
The Intel Xeon X5355 @ 2.66GHz is a Server released in 2009. Recorded specifications include 4 cores and 4 threads, a 120 W reference TDP, a 2,039 CPU Mark. Use these figures to understand its position, then compare the results with your software and the complete platform.
The 2,039 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 1,041 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.
It uses socket LGA771. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.
The 120 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.
FAQ
The main recorded details are 4 cores and 4 threads, a 120 W reference TDP, a 2,039 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.
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.
Start with LGA771 motherboards, then confirm the official CPU-support list and required BIOS revision for the exact board before buying.
The recorded reference TDP is 120 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.
