What the Xeon 7130M is
The Intel Xeon 7130M is a 3.2 GHz multiprocessor dual-core server processor from August 2006. It runs two NetBurst cores at 3.2 GHz with Hyper-Threading on both cores, so 2 cores give 4 threads. Cache is 2 MB of L2 plus 8 MB of shared L3 on a 65 nm process. Power is rated at 150 W on Socket 604.
The 7130M served performance Tulsa servers with an 800 MT/s bus and a 16x multiplier at about 1391 dollars launch price. The M suffix marks the 800 MT/s bus against 667 MT/s N versions. It exists because multiprocessor buyers wanted 3.2 GHz NetBurst dual cores with a large shared L3 where the chassis cools 150 W.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 7130M fits Socket 604 multiprocessor server boards with a BIOS that lists Tulsa parts. It suits quad-processor chassis qualified for 150 W parts. Check the server maker CPU list for the exact board and stepping. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is DDR2 through the server board chipset.
An 800 MT/s front side bus ties the CPU to the server chipset. PCIe slots hang off the chipset.
Cooling uses vendor qualified server heatsinks for the 150 W envelope in multiprocessor chassis with directed airflow.
Upgrade paths
On Socket 604 the upgrade is the Intel Xeon 7140M at 3.4 GHz with 16 MB of L3 at 150 W, or the Intel Xeon 7120M at 3 GHz for 95 W operation. Beyond Socket 604 a move to a newer Xeon platform needs new boards and memory.
