Correct EVC baseline for Xeon L5430??

[tlyczko]

We have three host servers with this processor reported by vCenter: Intel Xeon L5430 @ 2.66 Ghz.

We will soon introduce a new host server with an Intel Xeon E5630 @ 2.53 Ghz because it has hyperthreading, the L5430 does not have hyperthreading.

Is Xeon 45nm Core 2 'Penryn' the correct EVC baseline for the L5430??

I've looked it up and I see '45 nm' on Intel's site and elsewhere...I've also seen 'Harpertown' in product descriptions, which confuses me because 'Harpertown' is not 'Penryn.'

Thank you, Tom

Thank you, I forgot I had seen that KB before.

It establishes that 'Penryn' is the correct baseline.

Thank you, Tom
