Woodcrest is launched in June 2006 as the Xeon 5100-series.

The second to last slowest Xeon 'Woodcrest' CPU. Although these CPU's run technically just fine, the performance gap with the Xeon 5150 and 5160 is very big. In the time-frame when these CPU's were new I would go for the 5160, 5150 or 5140 in most cases as these CPU's are just faster and snappier. In use-cases like SQL-servers or Terminal Servers it can really make a difference to have a CPU that can handle it's request as fast as possible. > Read more
Just like the Xeon 5110 but one step faster. Still it's not a brilliant choice in terms of performance due the slightly low clock-frequency. > Read more
With a production date of the 50th week of 2006 this was new technology when it came out. Intel had released the Core 2 Duo (and Xeon counterparts with the same architecture) in summer of 2006. Finally something to replace the aging and powerhungry Netburst CPU's.
At 2GHz this CPU was not bad but I favor the 5140 and faster models that run at 2.33GHz and higher. The faster models just make systems a bit snappier and more joyfull to work with. Especially in Terminal Server environments you want both a high core-count and clock-frequency. > Read more
Not a bad server CPU in it's day. It offers 2 cores at 2.33GHz. There are faster versions available (5150 and 5160) but of course these were more expensive. In my opinion this model is in the affordable range while retaining decent performance. > Read more
The fastest Xeon 'Woodcrest' CPU released. At 3GHz this CPU offered very good performance in it's day. > Read more
