Archive Description

A standard-issue brick of the cloud. The Xeon E5620 is a quad-core Westmere chip that likely spent its life in a dark, cold data center rack, serving web pages or crunching database queries.

While not rare, it represents the era when the LGA 1366 socket ruled the high-end world. Today, these are popular with "homelab" enthusiasts who buy old servers for pennies on the dollar to run Plex servers in their basements. It’s e-waste to Amazon, but gold to a nerd on a budget.
