Intel has announced its entry-level Xeon-E 2200 processors, which are tailored towards small businesses and cloud service providers. The new chips are based on Intel's Coffee Lake Refresh (CFL-R) microarchitecture and 14nm process node.

Xeon-E 2200 processors are only available in single-socket configurations. They reside on LGA1151 motherboards with the C240-series chipset. The chips support standard dual-channel DDR4-2666 ECC (error-correcting code) memory and up to 128GB of memory.

The previous Xeon-E 2100 family maxed out at six cores with TDP (thermal design power) ratings that span from 65W to 95W. For this generation, Intel has increased the core count up to eight and the operating clocks a bit. Therefore, the latest Xeon-E 2200 parts now start at 71W TDP but still top out at 95W.

There are 12 Xeon-E 2200 parts in total. The Xeon E-2288G and E-2278G are the newest additions that come rocking eight cores and 16 threads with boost clocks up to 5 GHz, but mind you that's only on one core though.

As you would expect, Intel will continue to offer processors with six and four core configurations that are equipped with and without Hyper-Threading.
