A dual-core "Core 2 Duo" based Xeon with 2 cores running at 3.33GHz. A nice performing server CPU back in late 2007 if you didn't need more than 2 (or 4 in dual CPU configuration) cores.
If you wanted 4 cores per CPU you could opt for the Xeon X5365 with the Clovertown core. It would set you back around an additional 500-600$. > Read more
The Core 2 Duo E8400 found it's way in many systems, and for a good reason! It was released in early 2008 and considered a high-end CPU but in 2009 and 2010 these CPU's were still sold and very useable. In this time-frame not everyone needed a quad-core so having a high-clocked dual-core system would do the trick. > Read more
The second fastest normal version of the Core 2 Duo. It runs fast and cool and even years after it's release it is suitable for daily office usage. Pair it up with enough RAM and a SSD and this hardware could run for years.
An interesting note about this particular CPU is that the distance (line spacing) between the laser engraved letters is smaller. I have never seen that on these type of CPU's before except for a few Core 2 Duo 8500's. > Read more
