SUMMARY

The Intel Xeon X5260 processor operates at a clock speed of 3.33 GHz per individual processor core. This means that each core within the processor is capable of running at this frequency, rather than the total frequency being shared across multiple processors. The discussion clarifies the misunderstanding regarding the performance metrics of the Xeon X5260, confirming that the specified clock speed applies to each core separately.

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).
