Intel Xeon Xeon E-2478 2.8GHz Processor 8 Core for Socket 1700 Tray

Key features:

  • Microarchitecture Raptor Lake
  • Threads: 16
  • Maximum Frequency: 5.2 GHz
  • Cache Memory: 24 MB
  • Thermal Design Power (TDP) 80 W
See full description

  • CPU Speed

    The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

    During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

  • Cores

    The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

  • Socket

    The processor socket type.

    The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

  • Maximum CPU Speed

    The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

  • Cache Memory

    Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

Description

Description

The Intel Xeon E-2478 is a processor for servers/workstations with 8 cores. It is part of the Xeon E series, which uses the Raptor Lake architecture with Socket 1700. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, the number of cores is essentially doubled to 16 threads. The Xeon E-2478 features 24 MB L3 cache and operates at 2.8 GHz by default, but can be boosted up to 5.2 GHz depending on the workload. Intel manufactures the Xeon E-2478 on a 10 nm production node, the number of transistors is unknown. The multiplier is locked on the Xeon E-2478, which limits overclocking capabilities.

With a TDP of 65 W, the Xeon E-2478 consumes typical power levels for a modern computer. Intel's processor supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 4800 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules), you can reach even higher. ECC memory is also supported, which is an important feature for critical systems to avoid data corruption. For communication with other system components, the Xeon E-2468 uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, so you may need a graphics card.

Hardware virtualization is available on the Xeon E-2478, which significantly improves the performance of virtual machines. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, allowing guest virtual machines to directly use the host's hardware. Programs that use Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, enhancing performance for compute-intensive applications. Besides AVX, Intel also includes the newer AVX2 standard, but not AVX-512.
