Intel Xeon E-2478 8 Cores 16 Threads 5.2GHz V (LGA 1700) BX80715E2478 Server CPU

High-Frequency 1S Server CPU Platform anchored by the Intel Xeon E-2478 for LGA1700 Edge and SMB Infrastructure

The Intel Xeon E-2478 (SKU BX80715E2478) is a 1-socket Raptor Lake-E server processor for the LGA1700 ecosystem, engineered for dense edge and branch deployments where predictable latency and strong per-core throughput matter more than multi-socket scale. With 8 cores and 16 threads, the Intel Xeon E-2478 supports high turbo headroom for bursty application tiers and consolidation targets in compact server chassis, while maintaining an 80W TDP profile for efficient thermal planning.

For memory architecture, the Intel Xeon E-2478 enables 2-channel DDR5 with ECC support up to 4800 MT/s and up to 128GB capacity, providing a balanced footprint for virtualization, infrastructure services, and SMB databases that require integrity without the complexity of larger memory domains. Up to 20 PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU allow architects to allocate bandwidth to modern NVMe storage, high-speed networking, or accelerator-class expansion where appropriate, while Intel C262/C266 server chipsets complete a stable platform for lifecycle-managed deployments.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon E-2478?

The Intel Xeon E-2478 is designed to maximize performance per rack unit in 1-socket servers by combining server-grade reliability features with a straightforward expansion model. For IT teams standardizing branch stacks, the Intel Xeon E-2478 delivers an efficient density-to-performance ratio, enabling consistent sizing across virtualization hosts, web/application nodes, and dedicated compute designs without overprovisioning power or cooling.

Intel focuses on validated platform interoperability, long-term availability planning, and hardware-backed security. With Intel Xeon E-2478 support for VT-x/VT-d with EPT, AES-NI, and Total Memory Encryption including multi-key, the processor aligns with modern isolation, encryption, and compliance requirements in enterprise and managed service environments.

Key Applications:

• Edge and branch virtualization hosts
• SMB web and application servers
• Light database and caching tiers
• Dedicated high-frequency compute nodes
