Xeon E5504 Details

The Intel Xeon E5504, launched in March 2009, is a server-class processor built on the 45 nm Gainestown microarchitecture. With a base clock of 2.0 GHz and a TDP of 80 W, it was designed for high-performance, multi-processor workloads in enterprise environments. The processor features four cores, four threads, and a locked multiplier, which limits overclocking potential. It operates on the FCLGA1366 socket and supports up to two CPUs in a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) configuration, making it suitable for dual-socket server systems requiring scalability and reliability.

The Xeon E5504 includes a substantial 3.815 MiB of L3 cache, with 0.244 MiB of L2 cache and 0.061 MiB of L1 cache, contributing to its ability to handle demanding computational tasks. It supports DDR3 800 memory across a triple-channel memory bus, enabling a maximum memory bandwidth of 19.2 GB/s and a total system memory capacity of up to 144 GB. The processor also supports ECC memory, a critical feature for mission-critical applications where data integrity is paramount. It integrates a PCI Express 2.0 interface with up to 12 lanes, allowing for high-speed connectivity with peripheral devices.

Despite its age, the Xeon E5504 remains notable for its server-grade capabilities, including hardware virtualization via Intel VT-x and VT-d, as well as enhanced security features like TXT and SMEP. It supports a range of instruction sets, including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES-NI, and x86-64, ensuring compatibility with modern software and encryption workloads. However, it lacks integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU for visual output.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon E5504 achieves an overall score of 4083, placing it at #1814 among 2060 processors. Its single-core performance scores 3995, ranking #1768, while its multicore score of 4215 places it at #1993. These results place it behind contemporary processors in the top 50, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, but competitive with older dual-core and early quad-core chips like the Core 2 Duo T7200 and Xeon E5405. Its multicore performance is notably stronger than its single-core performance, indicating a design optimized for parallel workloads.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E5504 is an outdated processor by modern standards, but it retains relevance in legacy server environments where stability, ECC support, and SMP capability are prioritized over raw performance. It is best suited for light to moderate server tasks, virtualization, or as a replacement in older systems where cost-effective upgrades are needed. While it cannot compete with today’s high-end CPUs, it represents a capable, reliable solution for niche, long-term deployments.
