Intel Xeon E5-2448L vs Intel Core i7-3615QE: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E5-2448L and Intel Core i7-3615QE: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E5-2448L has more cores (8 vs 4), more threads (16 vs 8), a larger L3 cache (20 MB vs 6 MB) and a higher maximum memory size (384 GB vs 16.11 GB).

At the same time, Intel Core i7-3615QE has a higher base clock (2.3 GHz vs 1.8 GHz), a higher maximum clock (3.3 GHz vs 2.1 GHz), a lower TDP (45 W vs 70 W) and a finer process node (22 nm vs 32 nm).

Both processors match on: 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.
