Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Xeon E5310 support Hyper-Threading?

No — the E5310 is a native quad-core processor without Hyper-Threading, providing 4 physical cores and 4 threads.

What memory type does the LGA771 platform use?

LGA771 servers use DDR2 Fully Buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMM) — standard DDR2 or DDR3 DIMMs are not compatible.

Can the E5310 be used in a dual-socket configuration?

Yes — the Xeon E5310 supports dual-socket (2S) configurations on compatible LGA771 server motherboards using Intel's FSB interconnect.
