Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 vs Intel Xeon E5-2658 v3: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 and Intel Xeon E5-2658 v3: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 has a lower TDP (52 W vs 105 W).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E5-2658 v3 has more cores (12 vs 6), more threads (24 vs 12), a higher base clock (2.2 GHz vs 2 GHz) and a larger L3 cache (30 MB vs 15 MB).

Both processors match on: process node (22 nm), maximum memory size (768 GB), memory channels (4), 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.
