## Summary description

Intel Xeon E-2478 is a server-class LGA 1700 processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base frequency 2.8 GHz and boost up to 5.2 GHz. It features 24 MB cache, DDR5 dual-channel memory support up to 128 GB with ECC, PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes), 80 W TDP and hardware virtualization and security technologies for enterprise workloads.

## Long description

The Intel Xeon E-2478 is a server-grade processor operating at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz with an 8-core design and 24 MB of cache. Built on the Raptor Lake family and compatible with LGA 1700 socket platforms, this CPU supports dual-channel DDR5 memory configurations and advanced PCI Express lanes to address enterprise workloads. Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases single-threaded and mixed-load performance up to a 5.2 GHz boost frequency, providing headroom for latency-sensitive server tasks and virtualization environments.
Advantages
The processor offers a combination of multi-core throughput and single-thread boost performance suitable for server applications. Its 24 MB cache reduces memory access latency for frequent data operations, while LGA 1700 compatibility simplifies integration into modern server motherboards. Support for dual-channel DDR5 memory increases memory bandwidth and capacity, and advanced PCI Express support enables flexible I/O configurations for storage and networking expansions. The design omits integrated graphics, focusing die area and power budget on compute capabilities.
Suitable for
Virtualization hosts and hypervisor servers
Database and transaction processing systems
Application servers and middleware
Compute nodes in small to medium enterprise racks
Storage controllers and network function virtualization

How to use
Install the Intel Xeon E-2478 into a compatible LGA 1700 server motherboard following the motherboard and chassis manufacturer instructions for processor seating and heatsink attachment. Use an appropriate thermal interface material and a server-grade cooler sized for the chassis to ensure adequate heat dissipation under sustained loads. Configure the BIOS/UEFI to enable the desired memory profile and power settings, and verify dual-channel DDR5 operation for optimal bandwidth. Update platform firmware and operating system drivers to ensure full recognition of CPU features and Turbo Boost operation.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation in enterprise environments, pair the processor with ECC-capable DDR5 modules where supported, maintain proper airflow and rack cooling, and monitor temperatures and power delivery during peak loads. Use server-class storage and network adaptors that match the platform’s PCI Express configuration to avoid bottlenecks in I/O-intensive applications.
