Intel Xeon E7-8860 v4 vs Intel Xeon E7-8880 v4: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E7-8860 v4 and Intel Xeon E7-8880 v4: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E7-8860 v4 has a lower TDP (140 W vs 150 W).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E7-8880 v4 has more cores (22 vs 18), more threads (44 vs 36) and a higher maximum clock (3.3 GHz vs 3.2 GHz).

Both processors match on: base clock (2.2 GHz), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (3 TB), 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.
