Intel Xeon E-2324G vs Intel Xeon E-2414 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data paints a remarkably consistent picture in this comparison. Across every single Cinebench test recorded in the database, the Intel Xeon E-2414 finishes ahead of the Intel Xeon E-2324G. The margin is nearly identical in each workload, which suggests a fundamental performance advantage rather than a workload-specific quirk.

Starting with multi-core performance, the E-2414 scores 1012 in Cinebench R15 multi-core, while the E-2324G manages 886. That works out to a 14.2% advantage for the newer part. The same margin appears in Cinebench R20 multi-core, where the E-2414 posts 4219 versus 3694 for the E-2324G. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the gap remains at 14.2%, with the E-2414 scoring 10046 and the E-2324G scoring 8797.

Single-core results follow the same pattern. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the E-2414 scores 142 against 125 for the E-2324G, a 13.6% lead. The E-2414 takes Cinebench R20 single-core with 595 versus 521, and Cinebench R23 single-core with 1418 versus 1242. In both of those latter tests, the delta is again 14.2%.

The consistency of the margin, right around 14% across nearly every benchmark, points to a clock-for-clock or architecture-level advantage that scales uniformly. It is not the case that one chip wins in multi-threaded workloads while the other takes single-threaded tasks. The E-2414 dominates both categories, and the database records six wins for the E-2414 and zero for the E-2324G in head-to-head testing.

Looking at the broader context, the E-2414 sits at the 51st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 2905. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-1335UE at 2907, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 1600 at 2909, the Intel Xeon E-2186M at 2912, and the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 at 2921. The E-2414 trails each of those by less than 1%, which places it in a tight cluster of comparable workstation and embedded processors.

The E-2324G also lands at the 51st percentile, with an average benchmark score of 2823. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5450U at 2829, the Intel Atom x7211RE at 2811, the Intel Core i5-10600 at 2837, and the Intel Core i7-6800K at 2838. The E-2324G is within 0.5% of each of those chips, so it too sits in a competitive band, but that band is roughly 3% below where the E-2414 resides.

The average benchmark score difference between the two processors is 82 points, which is modest in absolute terms but reflects the consistent 14% edge in the Cinebench suite. For workloads that rely on Cinebench-style rendering or computation, the E-2414 is the clear choice based on recorded performance.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations and manufacturing processes. The Intel Xeon E-2414 is built on Raptor Lake architecture, using a 10 nm process node from Intel. The die size is 163 mm². The Intel Xeon E-2324G uses Rocket Lake architecture on a 14 nm process, with a significantly larger die at 276 mm².

Core counts and thread counts are identical: both have 4 cores and 4 threads. Neither processor supports hyperthreading in the recorded specifications. The base clocks differ, with the E-2414 running at 2.60 GHz and the E-2324G at 3.10 GHz. Boost clocks are closer: 4.50 GHz for the E-2414 and 4.60 GHz for the E-2324G. Despite the lower base clock, the E-2414 outperforms the E-2324G in every recorded benchmark, which indicates the newer architecture delivers more instructions per clock.

Cache layouts also differ notably. The E-2414 has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, while the E-2324G has 512 KB per core. L3 cache is 12 MB shared on the E-2414, versus 8 MB shared on the E-2324G. L1 cache is the same at 80 KB per core. The larger cache hierarchy on the E-2414 likely contributes to its consistent performance edge.

Memory support diverges as well. The E-2414 supports DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The E-2324G supports DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. This is a substantial difference in memory throughput, which can matter in memory-sensitive workloads. Both use dual-channel configurations.

PCIe support also differs. The E-2414 provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The E-2324G provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The newer generation offers higher per-lane bandwidth, though the older chip has more total lanes.

Sockets are incompatible. The E-2414 uses Intel Socket 1700, while the E-2324G uses Intel Socket 1200. This means platform choices are mutually exclusive. The E-2414 comes from the Xeon E-2400 series, and the E-2324G from the Xeon E-2300 series.

Power envelopes differ as well. The E-2414 has a TDP of 55 watts, while the E-2324G is rated at 65 watts. The newer processor delivers higher performance at a lower power envelope, which is a notable efficiency improvement.

Integrated graphics are present only on the E-2324G, which includes UHD Graphics P750. The E-2414 has no integrated graphics listed, so a discrete GPU or a server board with onboard video would be required for display output.

Release dates and pricing also differ. The E-2414 launched on December 13, 2023, with a launch MSRP of $225. The E-2324G launched on September 7, 2021, with a launch MSRP of $209. Both are listed as active production parts.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. For any workload captured in the Cinebench suite, the Intel Xeon E-2414 outperforms the Intel Xeon E-2324G by a consistent margin of roughly 14%. This holds for both single-core and multi-core tests, across R15, R20, and R23 versions. If the benchmark results are the primary consideration, the E-2414 is the stronger processor.

The E-2414 also offers architectural advantages that align with its newer release. It supports DDR5 memory with higher bandwidth, has a larger cache hierarchy, uses a more advanced 10 nm process, and runs at a lower TDP of 55 watts compared to 65 watts. These factors contribute to its performance lead and may improve efficiency in dense server or workstation environments.

However, the E-2324G is not without merits. It includes integrated UHD Graphics P750, which can be valuable in systems where a discrete GPU is unnecessary or where diagnostic video output is needed. It also has more PCIe lanes, 20 versus 16, which could matter for configurations requiring multiple NVMe drives or expansion cards. Its base clock is higher at 3.10 GHz, which may benefit lightly threaded tasks that do not scale with cache or memory bandwidth.

The choice depends on platform priorities. Users building on Socket 1700 with DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5 should select the E-2414. Users with an existing Socket 1200 platform or a need for integrated graphics may prefer the E-2324G. The E-2414 is the better performer in the recorded benchmarks, but the E-2324G remains a capable 4-core part with specific platform advantages.

Given that both processors occupy the 51st percentile among all CPUs, neither is a flagship. But within this direct comparison, the E-2414 is the clear winner on performance, efficiency, and memory bandwidth. The E-2324G wins only on integrated graphics availability and PCIe lane count.
