IBM 45R2316 is a refurbished Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad-core processor designed for high-performance desktop and workstation systems. The processor operates at 3.00GHz with a 1333MHz front-side bus and includes 12MB of L2 cache, delivering substantial computational throughput for demanding applications. Socket LGA775 compatibility ensures integration with compatible Intel 775-based motherboards and systems from the mid-to-late 2000s era. Typical use cases include CAD/3D rendering, content creation, scientific computing, and legacy enterprise workstations where multi-threaded performance is critical. This processor excels in environments requiring sustained processing power across four cores without the thermal or power constraints of higher-end Xeon alternatives. Each unit is tested and guaranteed; available via quote from G5 Network Group.
