Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1260L

The Intel Xeon E3-1260L was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in April 2011. It is part of the Xeon E3 lineup, using the Sandy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads. Xeon E3-1260L has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.4 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.3 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Xeon E3-1260L on a 32 nm production process using 1,160 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Xeon E3-1260L, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
