About the T3X0R
Sourced for enterprise IT teams, the Dell T3X0R (T3X0R - Dell 2.90GHz 8GT/s QPI 20MB L3 Cache Intel Xeon E5-2690 8 Core Processor) is a Intel Unboxed Processors component appropriate for new-build, expansion, or warranty-replacement procurement. Technical specifications include clock speed of 2.90 GHz, bus speed of 8 GT/s, cache of 20MB L3, cores of 8. Common deployment scenarios include in-place server upgrades from prior Xeon/EPYC generations, matched-pair second-socket installation, hot-spare provisioning, and refurbished rebuild programs for older platforms. Pro Disk Network maintains the T3X0R in our enterprise inventory and verifies each unit against manufacturer datasheet specifications prior to listing. New stock ships factory-sealed where available; refurbished units are tested under load before dispatch and ship with a 90-day Pro Disk Network functional warranty. Dispatch in 1–3 business days; free standard ground shipping on US orders over $150.
The T3X0R is a Dell intel unboxed processors component with clock speed 2.90 GHz, bus speed 8 GT/s, cache 20MB L3. Pro Disk Network sells the T3X0R for $937.04 with US shipping in 1–3 business days and a 30-day return guarantee.
Confirm the socket against your motherboard's CPU support list - Intel Xeon Scalable spans LGA 3647 (1st/2nd gen), LGA 4189 (3rd gen Ice Lake), and LGA 4677 (4th/5th gen Sapphire/Emerald Rapids). A BIOS update is often required for newer steppings even on the same socket. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your motherboard model for a compatibility check.
How fast does the T3X0R ship?
T3X0R orders ship in 1–3 business days from US warehouses. Delivery is next business day to most metro ZIPs via FedEx/UPS overnight; ground delivery covers remaining US in 1-4 business days.
The T3X0R is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
Hyper-V Cluster Node — Windows Server Datacenter licenses by core, but Hyper-V scales linearly. Higher-clock, mid-core SKUs win for transactional workloads.
Citrix VDI Pool — Frequency-sensitive — prefer high-clock 16–18 core SKUs over high-core-count parts to maintain user-perceived snappiness.
Kubernetes / Tanzu Workers — Higher core count amortises better across many small Pods. EVC mode planning matters for live-migrate parity.
AI Inference Host — Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids include AMX silicon for INT8 inference acceleration — meaningful uplift for BERT, ResNet, and LLM serving.
What is the T3X0R?
The T3X0R is a Dell server-class processor with clock speed 2.90 GHz and bus speed 8 GT/s, manufactured by Dell. Pro Disk Network ships this part new and certified-refurbished from our US warehouse with dispatch in 1–3 business days, backed by a 30-day return guarantee.
Pros & Cons of T3X0R
Pros
Lower cost than the manufacturer channel for refresh cycles
Matched-pair option for dual-socket consistency
Sequential serial numbers on bulk orders for cluster builds
Cons
Older microarchitecture — not appropriate for new AI/AMX workloads
Not always silicon-binned for overclocking
Stepping mismatch with newer revisions can require microcode update
Frequently Asked Questions about T3X0R
Is the T3X0R a genuine Dell part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every T3X0R as factory-original Dell inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned Dell servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.
What socket does the T3X0R use?
Confirm the socket against your motherboard's CPU support list - Intel Xeon Scalable spans LGA 3647 (1st/2nd gen), LGA 4189 (3rd gen Ice Lake), and LGA 4677 (4th/5th gen Sapphire/Emerald Rapids). A BIOS update is often required for newer steppings even on the same socket. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your motherboard model for a compatibility check.
How fast does the T3X0R ship?
T3X0R orders ship in 1–3 business days from US warehouses. Delivery is next business day to most metro ZIPs via FedEx/UPS overnight; ground delivery covers remaining US in 1-4 business days.
What is the warranty on the T3X0R?
New T3X0R units carry the full Dell manufacturer warranty (typically 1 to 5 years depending on product line). Refurbished and bulk-OEM units include a Pro Disk Network advance-replacement warranty (90 days refurbished). DOA replacement is free within 30 days of receipt.
Do you offer bulk pricing for the T3X0R?

Socket Compatibility, EVC Mode, and BIOS Revision Planning
For VMware vSphere clusters, EVC (Enhanced vMotion Compatibility) mode dictates which CPU generations can coexist in the same cluster while still supporting live migration. Adding a newer-generation T3X0R to a cluster with older CPUs requires setting EVC to the older baseline, which disables newer instructions on the new CPU. Plan EVC mode at cluster creation time; changing it later requires powering off the cluster.
AI Workloads, AMX, and the Inference Performance Story
Plan memory bandwidth alongside the CPU: AMX inference is memory-bandwidth sensitive. A T3X0R paired with insufficient memory channels (e.g., DDR5-4800 in fewer than 8 channels per socket) will underperform its theoretical peak by 30-40%. Confirm motherboard channel count and DIMM population before ordering.
