3.0 GHz an 80w or 120w??

newtech said:
L, E and X are intels TDP codes for Xeon processors.

X = 120 W TDP ( ex X5365, X5460, X5482 )

E = 80 W or less TDP ( ex E5320, E5450 )

L = 50 W or less TDP ( ex L5148, L5405 )

That intel publication was based on the pre-release steppings that exhibited higher thermal values.

The 3.0 is known to be 80W TDP by virtue of cooling component commonality with the 2.8 and uprated cooling components in the 3.2 as detailed in the Service Source documentation.

Ha!:D
 
3.0 Ghz

Not much to go on from the Apple Tech Support rep for my university:

"We will not be able to ensure a specific chip into the machine. This is not something we have control over. "
so good luck with that folks! ;-) sounds like a crap shoot.

Best.

Hmmm.. found the E5472 in a Mac on Geekbench2 ressults

And in an Mac Pro 3,1

Houston the E(5472)agle has landed :D
 
please post the version of 3.0 chip...

once anyone receives your MP 3.0, could you all post the version of the intel chip? I would like to know if the 80W version of the 3.0 chip is actually shipping yet. Much thanks.
 
Three more E5472 hope it is a trend

The thing that scares me is there are also two X5472s in the mix.
The only bright side is they were posted earlier than the E5472 Mac Pro (not counting Xserve).

Got mine today - and, have a guess: It´s a X5472 ! (with Nivida 8800 GT)

Probably depends on which plant assembles it, or Apple uses which one it happens to have on hand at that moment.

Much the same as the crap shoot on what OEM drive is installed.
 
Would an X chip perform better than an E or is there no correlation there? ie would a 3.0x be more powerful (or enter your own adjective here) than a 3.0e???

Could an x or e chip depend on whether or not the MP ships with the nvidia or not?

Same computational performance, E has lower power consumption/lower heat output compared to X.

I find this interesting.
Any input from those receiving their 3.0 with 8800?
thx

What is your question?
If it is a question about the statement that was made, that statement is fact.
The E5472 has lower power consumption/lower heat output compared to the X5472 with the same performance.

Sorry..
to clarify...
Which is being shipped in the 3.0 with 8800 E or X?
If those who ordered that system have been delivered yet (3.0 /8800).

ordered around January 24th,
shipped on February 07th,
received Tuesday, 12 th,

it´s the X5472 !

The system performs quite well and calm - the only thing to critizise is the loud HD of Hitachi´s Deskstar 1 TB. Ask for more information ...
 
Interesting cpu-z results

Can anyone work out what the following results mean? In MacCPUID, geekbench etc I get told it's an X.

In Bootcamp using Cpu-z the name of the chip is an E whilst the spec is an X. Could it really be an E but the software is interpreting things incorrectly? Any other tests which don't involve me ripping off the heatsinks?

That certainly makes no sense....at least to me.

Yes, I also recognized it ! But there are some geekbench-snapshots shown a few days ago displaying the "E" right there too !!!
 
3.0 GHz: E5472 or X5472?

Has anyone else recently taken delivery of a 3.0 GHz Mac Pro and been able to determine whether it has E5472 or X5472?

An update of what is being shipped these days might sway my decision one way or the other (2.8 vs 3.0).
