Intel Xeon E5-2450L 8C/16T 1.8GHz 70W LGA1356 Server CPU (CM8062007283711) SR0LH - Datacenter Pull
Intel Xeon E5-2450L Processor — Sandy Bridge-EN, Low-Power 8-Core, LGA 1356 Socket
Server-pull Xeon processor optimized for energy-efficient, multi-threaded workloads. The E5-2450L is a low-power variant of the E5 family, drawing only 70W TDP, making it ideal for virtualization, database acceleration, and datacenter consolidation in single-socket LGA 1356 server motherboards.

LGA 1356 Compatibility — Important
LGA 1356 is a single-socket configuration, found exclusively in entry-level / mid-range server platforms from the Gen8/Gen9 era (2012–2014).
Compatible server families include:
- HP ProLiant DL360 G8, DL360p G8 (HP's single-socket 1U server, very common in SMB/lab environments)
- Dell PowerEdge R420, R420 (with single E5 option)
- Dell PowerEdge R620 (single-socket variant)
- Supermicro SYS-1014S-TN and other entry single-socket 1U platforms
Note: Dual-socket servers (DL360p G8, R620 with dual E5, etc.) require EITHER this processor OR compatible E5 family CPUs; older Xeon E5 v1/v2 are backward compatible within LGA 1356. Check your motherboard documentation before purchase — LGA 1356 is rare in modern equipment.
Why Choose This CPU
- Energy efficient: Only 70 W TDP — dramatically lower than standard E5 parts (95–130 W). Ideal for lab, virtualization, or always-on database servers where power draw matters.
- Proven performance: 8 cores / 16 threads provides adequate parallelism for light-to-medium workloads, legacy business apps, and database caching.
- Datacenter-grade: Server-pull from large fleet. Tested functional before shipment.
- Affordable upgrade: Breathe new life into older single-socket DL360 G8 or R420 servers at minimal cost.
Condition
Used — datacenter pull. Tested functional. Normal handling marks may be present on the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) or die. No retail packaging, thermal paste, or heatsink included. Ships as loose processor only with anti-static protection.
