Intel · Xeon E · 2019 · LGA1151
The Intel Xeon E-2278GEL is a server processor with 8 cores, released in 2019 at an MSRP of $255. It is part of the Xeon E lineup, using the Xeon E platform, and fits the LGA1151 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Coffee Lake-S WS" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 16 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon E-2278GEL has a base clock of 2 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Coffee Lake-S WS" silicon on a 14nm process node. This processor supports DDR4 memory across 2 channels, up to 128GB total, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports single-socket (1P) configurations, with 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0 available for storage, networking and accelerators. With a TDP of 35W, the Xeon E-2278GEL is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 16MB of L3 cache.
