Xeon E5462 Details

The Intel Xeon E5462 is designed for server and workstation environments that demand reliable, multi-threaded performance in a single-socket configuration. Released during a period when 45 nm process technology was common, this processor reflects an older generation of Intel’s Xeon lineup, now over 15 years old. While it no longer competes with modern high-performance CPUs, it remains relevant in legacy systems where stability and compatibility with older infrastructure are prioritized.

Built on Intel’s 45 nm process and based on the Woodcrest microarchitecture, the Xeon E5462 features four cores and four threads, operating at a base clock of 2.8 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.7 GHz—though this may reflect a minor adjustment due to power or thermal constraints. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB and a memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The processor is designed for the LGA771 socket and has a TDP of 80 W, making it suitable for systems with moderate thermal management requirements.

Despite its age, the Xeon E5462 includes advanced features for its time, such as support for AES-NI, AVX2, SSE4.1, and SSE4.2, along with virtualization technologies like VT-x and VT-d. It also supports Intel’s vPro platform, EIST for power efficiency, and TXT for secure boot. These capabilities made it a strong choice for business-critical applications in the mid-2000s.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon E5462 scores 4320 in the Overall Score, placing it at #1494 out of 2060 CPUs. Its Singlecore Score of 4238 ranks #1540, and its Multicore Score of 4444 places it at #1335. While it trails behind modern processors, it holds its own against some early-generation desktop and server CPUs, such as the Core i7-620M and Xeon E5540. However, it falls behind newer models like the Core i3-7020U and Athlon X4 870K in multicore performance, indicating that its strengths lie in consistent single-threaded workloads rather than heavy parallel processing.

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, with a base frequency of 350 MHz and a burst frequency of 1100 MHz, supports up to three displays and provides basic graphics acceleration—though not suited for modern gaming or GPU-intensive tasks. Given its age, the processor is best suited for low-demand server workloads, legacy software environments, or as a cost-effective upgrade in older systems. As of March 2026, the Xeon E5462 is best viewed as a historical benchmark of server computing rather than a competitive option in today’s market.
