Intel Xeon E5-4607 v2 vs Intel Xeon E5-2440 v2: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E5-4607 v2 and Intel Xeon E5-2440 v2: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E5-4607 v2 has a higher base clock (2.6 GHz vs 1.9 GHz), a higher maximum clock (2.6 GHz vs 2.4 GHz), a higher maximum memory size (768 GB vs 384 GB) and more memory channels (4 vs 3).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E5-2440 v2 has more cores (8 vs 6), more threads (16 vs 12) and a larger L3 cache (20 MB vs 15 MB).

Both processors match on: TDP (95 W), process node (22 nm), 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.
