Intel Celeron G3900E vs Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5: comparison

Comparison of Intel Celeron G3900E and Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Celeron G3900E has a higher base clock (2.4 GHz vs 1.9 GHz) and a lower TDP (35 W vs 45 W).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5 has more cores (4 vs 2), more threads (8 vs 2) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (1 GHz vs 950 MHz).

Both processors match on: process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (64 GB), memory channels (2), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
