Product Overview
These Intel® Xeon® processors, with extended lifecycle support, 
utilize Intel’s Hafnium-based 45nm Hi-k silicon process tech-
nology to reduce power consumption, increase switching speed, 
and significantly increase transistor density over previous 65nm 
technology to 820 million transistors. The Intel® Xeon® proces-
sor E5440
Δ
 delivers a 27% performance gain
1
 within the same 
thermal profile over the previous-generation Intel Xeon processor 
E5345
Δ
 (see Figure 1), making it an excellent choice for compute-
intensive embedded, storage and communications applications.
Lower thermal design power (TDP) and higher Tcase temperature 
options are ideal for low-power consumption and/or compliance 
with the AdvancedTCA* form factor and NEBS level-3 thermal 
specifications. The quad-core 5400 series supports 12 MB on- 
die L2 cache (2x6 MB) and the dual-core 5200 series supports  
6 MB on-die L2 cache. The single-core 3000 series supports 3 MB 
on-die L2 cache. All processors integrate Intel® Virtualization  
Technology

 (Intel® VT), Intel® 64 architecture,

 Intel® VT 
FlexMigration, and Intel® VT FlexPriority.
These quad-, dual- and single-core processors utilize a common  
microarchitecture and common socket with the previous-
generation Intel Xeon processor 5300 series and 5100 series, 
providing a simplified path to upgrades.
