HP 416798-001 Intel Xeon 2.66GHz Dual-Core Processor Upgrade Kit

HP 416798-001 – Server Processor Kit

Overview :

The HP 416798-001 is a processor upgrade kit consisting of a dual‑core server CPU intended for enterprise rack or blade systems. It addresses the need for reliable dual‑core compute in legacy 64‑bit server platforms, enabling sustained multi‑thread workloads in virtualization, database or web‑hosting environments. Specifically, the CPU operates at 2.66 GHz and is designed for systems using the LGA 771 socket, supporting the 1333 MHz front‑side bus and a 4 MB shared L2 cache, which helps maintain predictable performance in dual‑processor configurations. This component typically fits into the chassis of HP ProLiant G5 generation servers (for example, DL360 G5 or BL460c) and integrates with system management tools offered by HP for monitoring thermal and power events. Engineers replacing or refreshing older infrastructure will recognise this as a direct drop‑in upgrade to older server platforms that support the compatible socket and chipset.

Key Features :

• Dual‑core architecture operating at 2.66 GHz clock speed

• 4 MB shared Level‑2 cache for improved task responsiveness

• 1333 MHz front‑side bus to support legacy memory/controller speeds

• LGA 771 socket type for compatibility with select HP ProLiant servers

• Thermal design power rated at 65 W for moderate server power consumption
