Intel Xeon E-2224 8M Cache 3.40GHz 4 Core 4 Threads Processor

The Intel BX80684E2224 is a Xeon processor that offers dependable computing power for small business servers, entry level workstations, and lab builds that need server grade reliability without the cost of a larger multi socket platform. With four physical cores that operate at 3.4 GHz and scale up to 4.6 GHz under turbo, it keeps common workloads—such as file sharing, database hosting, light virtualization, and office productivity—moving smoothly.

An 8 MB Smart Cache helps the cores reach data quickly, which reduces latency when you move between tasks or handle several users at once. The chip supports up to 128 GB of DDR4-2666 memory and works with ECC modules so you can catch and correct bit-level errors that might otherwise compromise data integrity. If your motherboard uses the LGA1151 socket and has an updated BIOS, installation is straightforward.

Sixteen PCI Express 3.0 lanes let you attach high speed storage, a discrete graphics card, or additional networking without choking bandwidth. The processor ships with a stock cooler and carries a 71 W thermal design power, which is manageable in compact server chassis or desktop towers that rely on moderate airflow.

Because the Xeon E-2224 does not include integrated graphics, you will need a dedicated GPU or a board with a compatible video controller. In return you gain access to Intel Virtualization Technology, Trusted Execution, and other enterprise oriented features that make the chip a solid foundation for a reliable, always-on system.

• Four cores and four threads handle everyday multitasking for workstations and servers
• Base frequency of 3.4 GHz with turbo boost up to 4.6 GHz for short bursts of extra speed
• 8 MB Smart Cache keeps frequently used data close to the cores
• Supports up to 128 GB of DDR4-2666 memory with optional ECC for data accuracy
• Fits motherboards that use the LGA1151 socket (single CPU configurations)
• Sixteen PCIe 3.0 lanes for NVMe storage, graphics, or expansion cards
• 71 W TDP and included cooler simplify thermal planning
• No integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU or board level video is required
