Intel Xeon E-2254ME vs Intel Xeon E-2278GEL: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E-2254ME and Intel Xeon E-2278GEL: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E-2254ME has a higher base clock (2.6 GHz vs 2 GHz).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E-2278GEL has more cores (8 vs 4), more threads (16 vs 8), a higher maximum clock (3.9 GHz vs 3.8 GHz) and a lower TDP (35 W vs 45 W).

Both processors match on: process node (14 nm), 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.
