Intel Xeon E7-2803 vs Intel Xeon E7-2830: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E7-2803 and Intel Xeon E7-2830: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E7-2830 has more cores (8 vs 6), more threads (16 vs 12), a higher base clock (2.13 GHz vs 1.73 GHz) and a larger L3 cache (24 MB vs 18 MB).

Both processors match on: TDP (105 W), process node (32 nm), maximum memory size (1 TB), memory channels (4).

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.
