The Intel Xeon E-2324G is a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in September 2021, at an MSRP of $209. It is part of the Xeon E lineup, using the Rocket Lake-E architecture with Socket 1200. Xeon E-2324G has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.1 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.6 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Xeon E-2324G on a 14 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Xeon E-2324G, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Xeon E-2324G consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 3200 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Xeon E-2324G uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor features the UHD Graphics P750 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Xeon E-2324G, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
