Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Xeon E-2278GE is a processor focused on its core tasks. It is manufactured using the 14nm process and is based on the proven Coffee Lake S architecture. This makes it a reliable choice for use in workstations or as the core of smaller server solutions. A clear advantage of this Xeon model is the integrated graphics unit, the Intel UHD Graphics P630.

It enables image output without the need for a dedicated graphics card. This not only saves space in the case, but also costs and energy in continuous operation. With 16 MB of Level 3 Cache, the processor offers good data provision for its class. The maximum memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s ensures a fast connection to the RAM.

Even though it is PCIe 3.0, this interface is still perfectly adequate for most applications for which this processor is intended. We have found that the Intel Xeon E-2278GE delivers remarkably stable performance even after a few years. It remains a solid and durable option for systems where reliability is paramount.

It shows its strengths especially in environments that do not require any frills.
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics P630
  • Robust and stable Coffee Lake S architecture
  • 16 MB Level 3 Cache for good data provision
