Intel Xeon E7-8890 v3 vs Intel Xeon E7-8893 v3: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E7-8890 v3 and Intel Xeon E7-8893 v3: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E7-8890 v3 has more cores (18 vs 4) and more threads (36 vs 8).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E7-8893 v3 has a higher base clock (3.2 GHz vs 2.5 GHz), a higher maximum clock (3.5 GHz vs 3.3 GHz) and a lower TDP (140 W vs 165 W).

Both processors match on: process node (22 nm), maximum memory size (1.5 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.
