AI Thread Summary
The Intel Xeon X5260 processor operates at a frequency of 3.33 GHz per individual processor. There is some confusion regarding whether this speed is cumulative across multiple processors or applies to each one separately. Clarification indicates that the 3.33 GHz rating refers to each processor core individually. This means that if multiple Xeon X5260 processors are used, each will run at 3.33 GHz. Understanding this distinction is crucial for evaluating performance in multi-processor setups.

Intel Xeon X5260 / 3.33 GHz processor
I am not sure if it's 3.33 GHz per processor or all processors amount to 3.33 GHz?

I'm pretty sure this is per processor (core).
