Intel Xeon X3440
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon X3440 is a processor from a special era of computing. It's based on Intel's proven Lynnfield architecture. For its tasks, it was once a robust choice. This chip offered four physical cores and could process eight threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. This was a significant advantage for multitasking performance at the time.

The processor was manufactured using the 45-nanometer process, enabling a good balance of performance and efficiency. The Xeon series has always stood for reliability and stable operation. The Intel Xeon X3440 was no exception. It often found its place in compact entry-level servers or as the driving force behind powerful workstations.

With its PCI Express 2.0 connection and a maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s, it offered the necessary resources. Its 8 MB Level 2 cache supported fast data processing. We remember it as a solid foundation for many professional applications. It reliably performed its service for many years and was a smart investment for its time.

  • Lynnfield Architecture
  • 4 Cores and 8 Threads
  • High Reliability
  • Suitable for Entry-Level Servers and Workstations
