Intel Xeon E5-2608L v4 vs Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E5-2608L v4 and Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E5-2608L v4 has more cores (8 vs 4), more threads (16 vs 8), a higher maximum memory size (1.5 TB vs 64 GB) and more memory channels (4 vs 2).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E3-1558L v5 has a higher base clock (1.9 GHz vs 1.6 GHz), a higher maximum clock (3.3 GHz vs 1.7 GHz) and a lower TDP (45 W vs 50 W).

Both processors match on: process node (14 nm), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
