Intel Xeon E-2336 Processor - 2.9 GHz - 12 MB Cache - LGA 1200 - 6-Core

Intel Xeon E-2336 Processor debuted in Q3'21 as a solid choice for modern servers and workstations, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for professional environments.

The Intel Xeon E-2336 is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 that raises speeds up to 4.8 GHz when workloads demand extra power. With 12 MB of Smart Cache and a 14 nm process, it delivers responsive single-thread and multi-thread performance for typical server tasks.

Designed for the LGA 1200 (Socket H5) platform, this processor supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB and ECC, ensuring data integrity and reliable operation for critical services. The chipset-compatible package comes as a tray unit and does not include a cooler, allowing integrators to select an appropriate thermal solution.

Thermal Design Power is rated at 65 W and the CPU features advanced power management technologies such as Enhanced Intel SpeedStep, Idle States, and thermal monitoring to keep systems efficient under varying loads. Security and virtualization features are comprehensive, including Intel VT-x, VT-d, Intel SGX, Intel® AES-NI, Intel® Boot Guard, and Intel Trusted Execution Technology.

For connectivity and expansion, the Xeon E-2336 supports up to 20 PCI Express lanes with PCIe 4.0 capabilities and flexible lane configurations (1x16+1x4, 2x8+1x4, 1x8+3x4), making it suitable for NVMe storage, networking, and accelerator cards in a compact 1-socket (1S) server design.

Use cases for the Intel Xeon E-2336 include small business file and print servers, entry-level virtualization hosts, single-socket application servers, and workstation configurations for software development, CAD, or data analysis where reliable multi-threaded performance and ECC memory support are important.

Key selling points include robust 6-core / 12-thread performance, up to 4.8 GHz turbo frequency, ECC memory support to 128 GB, comprehensive security and virtualization features, and a modest 65 W TDP for efficient rack or tower deployments.

Summary of main features:

• 6 cores / 12 threads, 2.9 GHz base / 4.8 GHz turbo
• 12 MB Smart Cache, LGA 1200 socket
• Supports up to 128 GB DDR4 ECC, 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes
