Overview
The Intel Xeon E5-2603 packs 4 cores and 8 threads. It drops into the LGA2011 socket with a 80W TDP — about 20W per core. Clocks run from 1.8GHz base to 1.8GHz boost. 16MB of L3 cache helps in cache-sensitive games and workloads. Confirm motherboard socket compatibility before anything else, then size the cooler to the TDP.
Its $131.95 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest processor deals from multiple stores.
