Intel Xeon E-2478 Processor
The Intel Xeon E-2478 is a powerful server- and workstation-class CPU designed to deliver both strong multithreaded performance and efficient, stable operation under load - ideal for professional workloads, virtualisation, content creation, and compute-intensive tasks. Built on Intel’s modern architecture and utilising the LGA 1700 socket, this processor pairs eight high-performance cores with Hyper-Threading to provide 16 logical threads. With a 2.8GHz base clock and the ability to boost up to 5.20GHz, plus 24MB of Smart Cache and support for modern memory and connectivity standards, the E-2478 balances processing power, responsiveness, and power efficiency for demanding environments.
High Core Count and Turbo Performance
The E-2478 features 8 performance cores and 16 threads, enabling smooth multitasking and parallel processing of heavy workloads - from server tasks and virtualisation to rendering and data crunching. Under load, Intel Turbo Boost technologies allow the CPU to reach a peak clock speed of up to 5.20GHz, delivering strong burst performance when single-threaded or lightly-threaded tasks demand it. The 24MB Smart Cache helps minimise latency by keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores.
Modern Platform with PCIe 5.0 & DDR5 Support
Designed for the latest platforms, the Xeon E-2478 supports PCIe 5.0, enabling high-speed connectivity to GPUs, NVMe storage, and other peripherals - a must for future-proof workstations or servers. Memory bandwidth is enhanced by support for DDR5 RAM, allowing for fast data throughput and responsive system performance.
Efficient Power and Thermal Design
With a TDP of 80W, the E-2478 balances high performance with energy efficiency - making it suitable for 24/7 operation in servers or workstation racks without excessive power draw or thermal output. The processor also includes Intel’s thermal monitoring and power-management technologies to maintain stability under varied workloads.
Enterprise-Grade Features & Virtualisation Ready
As part of the Xeon family, this CPU includes enterprise-focused features such as 64-bit processing, Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x, VT-d), ECC memory support when paired with a compatible board and BIOS, and extensive instruction-set support (SSE4, AVX2, AES-NI). These features make it well-suited for virtual machines, server workloads, and professional applications requiring reliability and security.
