HP 416660-B21 Intel Xeon 5160 3GHz Dual-Core Processor Kit Upgrade

HP 416660-B21 – Dual‑Core Intel Xeon 5160 Processor Kit

Overview :

The HP 416660-B21 is a factory option kit from Hewlett‑Packard for the Intel Xeon 5160 dual‑core 3.0 GHz processor, intended for use in HP blade servers such as the ProLiant BL460c G1. It provides server‑class compute by delivering two execution cores, each running at 3.0 GHz with a 1333 MHz front‑side bus and a shared 4 MB Level‑2 cache, enabling legacy blade systems to be upgraded for higher single‑thread throughput. Its power‑profile (80 W TDP) and Socket LGA771 compatibility make it suited to data centre and enterprise blade environments rather than desktop use. This kit fits within HP’s c‑Class blade chassis infrastructure — commonly used in data centre, campus server clusters and virtualised workloads — and integrates with HP Onboard Administrator and iLO management frameworks when installed in approved HP blade enclosures.

Key Features :

• Dual‑core 3.0 GHz Xeon 5160 processor for HP blades

• 4 MB shared Level 2 cache to support server workloads

• 1333 MHz front‑side bus (FSB) for high system bandwidth

• 80 W thermal design power to align with dual‑socket blade power budgets

• Compatible with Socket LGA771 (Socket J) on HP blade systems
