HP 416659-B21 Intel Xeon 2.66GHz Dual-Core Processor Upgrade Kit

HP 416659-B21 – Intel Xeon 5150 Dual‑Core Processor Kit

Overview :

The HP 416659-B21 is a dual‑core processor kit designed for enterprise blade servers, specifically ideal for system administrators upgrading older infrastructure. It comprises the Intel Xeon 5150 CPU running at 2.66 GHz with a 1333 MHz front‑side bus and 4 MB of L2 cache, and is suitable for use in HP ProLiant BL460c G1 systems. This kit addresses performance bottlenecks in legacy environments by providing higher clock speed and FSB throughput in a socket LGA 771 platform. It fits blade server deployments in data‑centres, consolidation environments or edge‑use cases where dual‑core throughput is adequate. The kit integrates seamlessly into HP BladeSystem c‑Class enclosures and supports virtualization and 64‑bit operating systems, enabling efficient workload migration in existing HP server racks.
