Overview
The Intel Xeon E3-1240 offers 4 cores and 8 threads. It drops into the LGA1155 socket with a 80W TDP — about 20W per core. 16MB of L3 cache helps in cache-sensitive games and workloads. Clocks run from 3.3GHz base to 3.3GHz boost. Board socket comes first when pairing parts — after that, make sure your cooler's rating covers the chip.
Its $150.00 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest processor deals from multiple stores. Support and warranty service run through Intel, with terms that vary by region. The full specification sheet below breaks out every listed detail, and the compatibility checker flags conflicts with parts already in your build.
