Xeon E5405 Details

Ranking #1823 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Xeon E5405 presents a modest benchmark footprint when compared to modern processors. Despite its age—released during a time when 45 nm fabrication was standard—the processor still holds a place in the broader landscape of Intel’s server and workstation lineup. Its relatively low score of 4076 in the Overall Score metric suggests it is positioned toward the lower end of the performance spectrum, particularly when contrasted with today’s top-tier CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K, which dominate with scores exceeding 8000. Still, the Xeon E5405 holds its own in niche applications where legacy compatibility and integrated graphics are priorities.

At the heart of the Xeon E5405 is a 4-core, 4-thread design built on the 45 nm process node, operating at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.3 GHz. It supports DDR3L memory at speeds up to 1600 MHz, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB across two channels, delivering a theoretical memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The processor is designed for the LGA771 socket and operates at a TDP of 80 W, making it suitable for low-to-mid power server environments or older workstation platforms. It also supports advanced features such as AES encryption, AVX2, and Intel’s VT-x and VT-d virtualization technologies, which enhance its utility in virtualized or security-sensitive deployments.

One of the most notable aspects of the Xeon E5405 is its integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400, which runs at a base frequency of 200 MHz and can boost up to 950 MHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and offers a modest but functional graphics capability for basic visualization tasks, eliminating the need for a discrete graphics card in light-duty applications. The processor supports PCIe 2.0 with a total of 10 lanes, configured as 4x1, 1x4, and 1x2, enabling connectivity for expansion cards in server or workstation configurations.

In terms of benchmark performance, the Xeon E5405 scores 3982 in Singlecore and 4217 in Multicore, placing it behind several older but still relevant processors like the Core 2 Duo and Pentium models in its class. While its single-core performance is competitive with some early 2010s mobile and desktop CPUs, its multicore performance is limited by its age and lack of modern architectural improvements. The processor is outpaced by more recent designs, even in its own family, such as the Xeon E5504, which scores slightly higher despite similar specifications.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E5405 remains a relic of the early 2010s server era, primarily useful in legacy systems or specialized environments where compatibility with older software and hardware is essential. Its integrated graphics and support for ECC memory make it a viable option for low-cost, low-power workstations or small-scale servers, though it is not suited for modern high-performance computing or gaming workloads. For users requiring more contemporary performance, upgrading to a newer Intel or AMD platform would be strongly advised.
