Intel Pentium III Xeon 700 5V-12V

The Intel Pentium III Xeon 700 5V-12V is a 1-core, 1-thread processor from Intel built for the Server/Workstation segment. It runs at a base clock of 700.00 MHz, with no boost clock listed, on the Intel Slot 2 socket. The cache hierarchy is 32 KB L1 and 1 MB L2, and the processor is fabricated on Intel's 180 nm process with 140 million transistors and a 375 mm² die. Its 30 W TDP marks it as a modest-power part. The database entry contains no benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile vs all CPUs. It was released on 2000-05-21, is end-of-life, and had a launch MSRP of $1177.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark results for this CPU are absent. The benchmarks array is empty, so there are no scores to compare against any other processor. The average benchmark score is 0. The nearestRivals list is also empty, meaning no deltaPct values exist. The only comparative figure is the 50th percentile vs all CPUs.

A 50th percentile combined with an average score of 0 indicates that the percentile is a database placement field rather than a measured performance result. No exact percentage lead or deficit can be reported. The data shows a processor that has not been measured in this database's benchmark suite. A reader cannot use this entry to determine how fast the Pentium III Xeon 700 5V-12V is in any specific workload.

Because no benchmark scores and no rival entries are present, any statement about relative speed would be unsupported. The 700.00 MHz base clock is the only frequency-related performance indicator. The 32 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 caches are the only cache-based indicators. Neither can be converted into a workload score from the available data.

Platform and Compatibility

The socket is Intel Slot 2. The market segment is Server/Workstation. The architecture is P6, the codename is Cascades-2M, and the generation is labeled Pentium III Xeon (Cascades). The process node is 180 nm, with 140 million transistors and a die size of 375 mm². The foundry is Intel.

The memory bus is single-channel. ECC memory is not supported, as the ECC memory field is false. No memory support types are specified in the entry, so compatible memory standards, capacities, and speeds are not listed. This limits the platform detail available to a buyer or integrator.

PCIe is not listed. No PCIe generation, lane count, or topology data is present. The integrated graphics field is also absent, meaning no integrated graphics are listed for this processor. The multiplier is locked, so the base clock ratio is not unlocked for adjustment.

The part number field lists SL3U5SL49QSL4GESL4XV as the associated identifier. Production status is end-of-life, and the release date is 2000-05-21. The upgrade path is constrained by the Intel Slot 2 socket and the end-of-life status. Any compatible replacement must use the same socket. The locked multiplier adds another compatibility limitation for users seeking frequency scaling.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array is empty. There are therefore no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values to cite. In the absence of such entries, the only position metric is the 50th percentile vs all CPUs.

The average benchmark score of 0 reinforces that no performance comparison can be derived from the provided data. This processor cannot be ranked against named rivals using the available information. Its 50th percentile places it in the middle of the database distribution, but the lack of benchmark observations leaves that placement uncorroborated.

No exact performance percentage deltas are available. There is no rival product to describe as faster or slower, and there is no workload score to anchor a comparison. The data supports only the statement that this entry occupies the 50th percentile position with a recorded average benchmark score of 0.

Power and Thermals

The processor has a TDP of 30 W. In the Server/Workstation segment, that is a low thermal class, especially for a slot-based processor. A 30 W envelope implies that the cooling solution does not need to handle high heat density.

The 180 nm process and 375 mm² die are the manufacturing context for that thermal output. The 140 million transistor count, combined with the 1 MB L2 cache, is the workload capacity that the 30 W power envelope supports. No cooling hardware is specified in the data, so the cooling tier is best described as basic: a heatsink and fan assembly designed for the Intel Slot 2 socket would be in line with the TDP.

The absence of a boost clock also means there is no higher-frequency thermal state beyond the 700.00 MHz base clock listed. The 30 W TDP is the only thermal specification in the entry. This single-threaded, low-TDP design suggests that thermal management is not a demanding requirement for the platform.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

With 1 core and 1 thread, this CPU can execute exactly one instruction stream. There is no simultaneous multithreading or extra core to handle a second thread. Consequently, the 700.00 MHz base clock is the single determinant of instruction throughput for CPU-bound work.

The 1 MB L2 cache is the largest cache field in the entry and can serve single-threaded working sets that fit within it. The 32 KB L1 cache handles the immediate data and instruction needs. The single-channel memory bus is the data path to memory, and with no ECC support, the memory subsystem is optimized for simplicity rather than error-checked throughput.

Multi-thread workloads cannot scale on this processor. Any parallel task would require other processors on the platform. In single-thread applications, the 700.00 MHz clock and the 1 MB L2 cache are the relevant performance levers. The one-core, one-thread design means that the operating system sees a single logical processor, and software must be written to run within that limitation.

Who Should Consider It

The market segment alone, Server/Workstation, frames this as a niche product. The production status is end-of-life, so new deployments would rely on existing supply. For workloads that are strictly single-threaded and compatible with Intel Slot 2, the 700.00 MHz base clock and 30 W TDP offer a low-power path to computational work.

For gaming, the database provides no benchmark scores, so no evidence-based recommendation can be made. For content creation, the one-core, one-thread design is a hard constraint; multi-threaded rendering or encoding would not benefit from additional cores because none exist.

For office tasks, the single-channel memory bus and absence of integrated graphics mean the processor would require a separate graphics solution. The 50th percentile vs all CPUs and the average score of 0 provide no basis for a performance endorsement. This processor is best considered by someone targeting its specific socket, cache, and thermal profile rather than by someone seeking a general-purpose performer.
