The Intel Xeon E‑2488 is an 8‑core, 16‑thread Xeon E‑2400‑series server processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture and manufactured on the Intel 7 process for single‑socket LGA1700 platforms. It runs at a 3.20 GHz base frequency with Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 up to 5.60 GHz, has 24 MB of L3 cache, a 16 GT/s bus, and a 95 W TDP, delivering strong single‑thread and multi‑thread performance for compact servers and entry workstations.
For memory and I/O, the Xeon E‑2488 supports up to 128 GB of DDR5‑4800 ECC memory across 2 channels and exposes up to 20 PCIe 5.0 lanes, enabling high‑bandwidth NVMe storage, modern NICs, and other peripherals in space‑ and power‑constrained systems. It includes Intel VT‑x, VT‑d, and EPT virtualization plus security features such as Intel Total Memory Encryption, AES‑NI, OS Guard, Boot Guard, and Mode‑based Execute Control, making the 3.2 GHz, 8‑core, 95 W FIO configuration a strong choice for HPE ProLiant Gen11 and similar platforms running SMB virtualization hosts, line‑of‑business applications, web and application servers, and small database workloads.
